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! |

As the pump creates a vacuum the fouled sock sucks flat, fuel flow is reduced or stops. You can put 10 filters on the supply line but the issue remains. The first one in line will get fouled with tank debris. Cleaning the tank itself and replacing the sock removes 2 issue items. Most socks are decades old and rusted tanks add to the problem. Tank socks cost about $5.50. You can’t buy filters for that. Then there’s the joy of replacing or cleaning the first stand alone filter on a regular basis. No thanks.
