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, you might want to add some Gas 360 Treatment if your gas was last years gas.

I had mine out during one of the coldest days after sitting most of the winter and it ran good, but seamed to hesitate a couple times and idled ruff. When I got it home I sprayer some Carb Cleaner in it. I never had any problems since Tony rebuilt the engine seven years again in 2012. Can't believe it's been that long ago and problem free. Anyway talking about a simple fix, the carb cleaner was the trick, a quick fix, and all it needed.

See you in Hershey WITH YOUR MAGA CAR! Good luck with the Auto Cross Sunday.
