If you do go with a single-carb setup, consider heating the manifolds. The Beetles with the single carbs had heat risers to try to keep the fuel mixed into the air; most of the setups for the Type IV engine give you long unheated intake pipes which are very prone to fuel drop-out.
Realize that there isn't a lot of expertise around single-carb setups on a 914. Most people who have them don't deal with them at all and just accept however they run as how the car runs. --DD |
