Hello 914world! Newbie to the site and 914s. I recently purchased a 1973 2.0. The car was purchased twelve years ago by the previous owner and has been sitting for four years. The seller provided all sorts of new parts and a binder with receipts going back to the day it was purchased new. I have several air cooled VWs and was just about ready to start the resto of my 1950 type 1 when this little distraction came along. The more I read about these cars the more excited I get to get it road worthy again.
I was able to start the engine, but the fuel lines are brittle and the fuel tank has a lot of sludge. I have since pulled the tank and purchased a replacement and also removed the fuel pump and all the old lines. The car still has the plastic fuel lines and I'm planning on replacing them in the near future. However I just want to get the car running so I can get a better idea of what direction to go in. Like I said earlier, I don't have any previous knowledge about these cars, so please feel free to chime in with advice or comments.    |

(IMG:style_emoticons/default/welcome.png) Well you have a great car to begin with. It sounds like this is not your first rodeo, so you know the drill. Organization is the key. Good luck.
