My 914 I have owned for almost 30 years. Very beautiful car but has sat in my garage covered for 80% of that time. Never really ran very well, wants to shut off at red lights, stuff like that. I rebuilt the carburators my self but only got alittle better. I am going to do a standard compression test as well as a leak down test to see if it is worth messing with or just replace the engine completely.
Does anyone know a place in the Inland Empire to pick up a fully rebuilt 1.7? Please advise, thanks. |

Glad your putting it back on the road. PM me hear if you like I can move you in the right direction for testing the motor and if needed then go towards motor replacement. But a 914 motor sitting for 30 years in dry storage should run great with some tuning an some clean up on the Fuel supply system.
I just got a 2.0 running after a reseal, tune / clean up. and it runs great. I would run some PB blaster down the spark plug whole just for safe measures. |
