I’m told these Solex carbs came from a stock European delivered 914. Anyone have any info?

negative.
only one euro 914 had carbs - 74 + 75 1.8 40 pdsit.  could be wrong, but those might be off a type 3. maybe. they sure look familiar from half a lifetime ago. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif) or maybe a bus? or maybe a 411. i am kind of half interested in these things. i'd love to have a 74 euro spec parked next to my 74 usa spec. its an idle thought. the 75 1.8 euro is the rarest 914 out there? going off engine numbers only 101 made or was it 99. but i don't want a 75. its the 74 i am vaguely interested in. 85 hp. almost a 75 USA 2.0 bet there is bugger all left of either year. mind you that could be something to do with rumoured very early 914s that were made with carbs and found their way to the states as demonstrator test cars. @davep has the story on that? he has mentioned it once before. but the 1.8s had the 40s. that extra solonoid hanging off one of them is pretty weird though. nothing ever like that on the aussie twin carb pancake type 3 down here. |
