I've seen the list, but never book marked it: A friend has a 914 that he hasn't started in 10 years. I' looking for the thread that go through the steps of what to do and what not to do.

Thanks, I was looking for a checklist I could print out for the owner. He's going to take the car in to PCH Garage, but I want to show him a list. Obvious stuff like the fuel tank are things he can do.

I bought a 1970 model year 914 that had been sitting in a barn since 1988. We had to replace all fuel hoses and the fuel filter; then replaced all 4 fuel injectors because they started leaking shortly after it started running. Replace thr spark plugs, but before uou indtall the new ones swiirt some ATF into each cylinder snd crank the engine over eith thr new battery you just had to install.

I'm going to make up a step by step guide for the owner. Things we take for granted, like removing and cleaning the fuel tank and related parts require detailed "how to" info. |
