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. |

I put twin singles on the cars at the first sing of FI problems. I use the Empi twin Solex's. With a stock cam will get you there and get you good MPG. I have had them in 4 cars and the 34 webbers get better MPG. Two cars drove to and from the WCR 06 in Portland from L.A. and on the return trip both cars got over 40 MPG.
