I finally got my 914 on the road but switched to carbs to save money. The car runs rich. I have heard that the stock cam is not the perfect profile for carbs and also that the car needs to be run slightly rich to keep the engine temperature down. I have never adjusted a carb before and was wondering if I should try to lean the mixture myself or if this is better left to an expert. I recall that if an engine runs lean bad things can happen to pistons and valves.

Why ask your mechanic?
Why triangulation? Why not just get your mechanic to get on this forum and learn something himself. Better yet....hang out here and learn yourself. I just don't get triangulation posts like this. Isn't becoming part of a learning community what this forum is about? The German engineers spent hours working on the setup for the motor. L-jet can be tuned to run way better than carbs.....given that you learn how it runs. Rant over......carry on. |
