I purchased a nice 74 2.0 the previous owner installed a single progressive carb because "fuel injection is crap" It ran OK but when we installed the stock FI, it ran poorly. I set up a vacuum gauge and it was only pulling 5 mmhg at idle. Not Good! After checking for vacuum leaks we checked valve adjustment, tight! It now pulls 15 and runs great. Brad |

Brad Newb here, also with a new '74 with FI and valve adjustment is on the list. Have done it on my 1953 MG TD and 1966 VW bug, but not a 914 yet. I take it you did the valve adjustment with the engine in the car? Any tips? Kevin |
