I have a 72 914 that I have been working on forever, started a rebuild 15 years ago. A local machinist help me out and somehow the engine that I thought was a little bigger then 2.1L, I now calculate the size at 2366 cc (103mm x 71mm)! It has an electronic vacuum advance distributor and Solex H32/34 PD513 carbs, compression is 150 psi plus or minus 2 psi all around. Engine starts instantly warm or cold, rev's sluggishly but will quickly get to 6000 rpm easily. The issue is it will not idle below 2200 rpm.
What have I missed? |

Ok now it will idle some what, went through the timing thing again and it now lopes at around 900 rpm. Under load it will not go above 4500rpm. Air Cooled thinks I need 44's with no head work do I really need 44 or would 40's work?
I have a new issue though, the brakes don't stop the car as well as I remember, in the last 2 years I rebuilt all (4) calipers, cleaned out the proportional valve replaced the master cylinder, replaced the rear disks and replaced the pads. Pedal feels pretty solid. Any thoughts? |
