			 Cold starting a carbed 914 can be a little tricky. 
			
			
					
		My process was three pumps of gas, and hold the peddle ~1/2 way down. You need to keep the peddle down a bit until the engine has some heat in it, or else it will just stall when you take your foot off. And, yeah, change the fuel filter. Zach  |
