The PO had a single carb on when I bought my 74’ 1.8 914 and said he had uneven idle problems with the L-jet injection so he preceded to remove all components and box everything up. So now I’m feeling I want to reinstall the injection and put it back to stock. I have some mechanical ability and patience, though I was never able to get that gas smelling carb to run right. Was looking for someone I could pay for a few hours to kinda orientate me on the location of the box of injection parts I have and give me thoughts on what parts I might be missing and how difficult and expensive it will be to put everything back. I’m in Puyallup WA south hill area, Thanks In advance

I'm pretty sure it was engine case, plenum then a nut. If the rubber lines are hard and brittle, it would be a good time to replace them. Go ahead and replace them with the slight radius style, it came that way from the factory. Lastly, make sure you clean these terminals that I circled in the picture. A bad connection here will cause a bad day of troubleshooting in the future.
A slight highjack with this thread and perhaps Clay or others might chime in. I'm planning on going with the vanagon throttle body conversion. I think I found a cheap enough 50mm throttle body and have done research on good double sealed INA needle bearings to rebuild this potential 50 mm throttle body. However, I came across this GoWesty throttle body. Will this bolt up and play nice with our 1.8L's I do understand I'll have to fabricate something for the throttle body switch. |
