Had a chance to pull the 914 out from storage today. It was there too long given some family events demanding my time this year.
1973 2.0 Bahia red. All original. 47k miles. I’ve owned it for about 8 years now. Original owner had it for 41 years. The last two times I’ve taken it out of storage several injectors leaked at the seals. A couple sealed themselves after some careful running of the engine at idle but I had to replace seals on one injector. Is this typical when taking these cars out of storage? I lived in Atlanta for the first six years so the car was never in longer term storage. Enjoy your summer driving. Attached thumbnail(s)

Beautiful 914 for sure. I wouldn't call the injector seal leak "typical" after storage but it's not an uncommon, either.
Mine has done the same thing yours did. Now part of my process the first couple of times i get it out at the beginning of the season is to just let it idle for 10 mins and just take a good look around the engine bay. |
