Hi guys, Chris from New Zealand here....finally bought myself a 914! Shes a '73 2.0 with original FI. Had her about a week, after standing for 8 years.
Previous owner spent some time and money getting her on the road as part of the sale to me, but still a bit of work to be done! I'll try and attach a picture. Took her for a shakedown run today for about 3 hours but then she started coughing and spluttering then stalled at about 60mph. Coasted to a halt, ignition on/off and away she went again for about half an hour.. Same thing again, ignition on/off and all was well for another 20 min.. This went on and on and the intervals between spluttering and stalling got more frequent until i just about made it home. Felt like fuel rather than electrical... Could it be the fuel pump, or any other ideas? I have a feeling I'll be using the forum quite a bit (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) Nice to meet everyone! |

Could be blockage of the screen in the fuel tank, Debris blocks the flow when running then after it shuts off, drifts away from the screen.
You can take off the filler neck and look down in there, Not a real big deal to pull the tank and clean/replace the fuel sock. also can check if the rubber lines have a kink in them. |
