I took the 914 out for it’s first real run of spring. About 2 miles from home it starts missing and is clearly intermittently loosing a cylinder. I stop for gas and it’s getting worse. It’s last years gas in the car and I’m having flashback of carbs and jets clogging over the winter.
Fill up with gas and check the plug wires. Number 3 wasn’t seated all the way. Proceeded to drive the car without a hitch for the rest of the morning. Man I love it when it’s easy. Zach |

I got stranded awhile back and it turned out to be that the coil wire had come loose. Figured it out because the tach was going crazy as it was sputtering.
Really makes me appreciate some of the frustration that I had over the winter and the experience gained getting her running again because I would not have noticed otherwise and would have had to get a tow... |
