My car came with a fuel injection conversion to a Weber downdraft—I need to order a rebuild kit but not sure which version of the carb this is. Anyone recognize it?

The single two barrel progressive carb is a popular budget conversion, and with a good carb pretty fail safe, but also lacking in performance. They work, just not great.
The distance from the carb to the combustion chamber is too far and results in a remarkable flat spot (stumble, bog, fall on it's face) at hard acceleration from low rpms. In very cold weather they're terrible because they never get warmed up, not that anyone drives a 914 in that kind of cold anymore. Dual (definitely not duel) Weber IDF's or Delorto duals is the way to go and will help your 914 to perform like a sports car. |
