Greetings;
I have been away for the forum for awhile and my restoration project has stalled. I am thinking a switch to carburetors might get me motivated to get back on it and see if it will run. I got the car from my father in law who had it parked for almost 20 years.. Looking for recommendations on carburetors, I was thinking the single barrel carbs would be best since this is a bone stock 1.8. Which carbs are best? Which fuel pump should I use? How do you power the fuel pump? Would I need an inertia switch? Just looking for ideas. Thanks |

Yeah, the FI-v-carbs scene has changed, especially here.
I came into 914s preferring carbs, but that was really due to my ignorance (the true meaning of that term) about the Bosch EFI. Once I learned more about D-Jet and L-Jet I changed my tune. The user-side knowledgebase of D- and L- is significantly bigger than it was 20+ years ago, and is now very well supported. I'd give it another shot before bailing on it. |
