I am hoping to get my 914 back on the road after a LONG absence. (20+ years)
I have to drop out my 2.4 engine due to a valve problem and plan on putting back in a stock rebuilt 2.0 engine (originally D-Jetronic). I don't trust the old FI and will only have a couple of weeks from start top finish, so I was thinking of just putting on a set of carbs as an easy fix to get it running. My big engine has a pair of Dellorto cabs that are already a bit too big even for the 2.4, and need to be rebuilt, so again not a good solution. I am looking at either a Dual 40 IDF setup or maybe one of the dual single barrel carb setups. Anyone have any good suggestions. Cost is a concern, so I will probably be looking at the Chinese carbs, EMPI or Webber copies. Thanks in advance. |

If you go to carbs, besides the Cam change (which is a major thing because you have to basically tear the engine down and split the case to get 'er done right0 you also will need to change the Fuel pump from the 30psi (for FI) to a 3psi for Carbs.
I have a single Weber 2 barrel progressive Carb 32/36 with electric choke that was installed during a complete engine rebuild by Tony at Translog GT. It's been 3 years running flawlessly. May not be the fastest 1.8 but I confident it will run for many years with no major problems. https://youtu.be/H4t0M2wrhu8 Doug |

The engine is a "fresh" rebuild that I ran about a year before building the 2.4 carbureted engine. It has been on the shelf since 1990 or so. I already have a low pressure pump on the car from the Dellardos on the big engine with the bad valve. (Broke an exhaust valve spring at the '92 San Diego Parade.) (Yes, the car has been off the road that long) |
