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! |

Pull tank
Replace fuel sock and all rubber lines under tank. Dump all fuel in tank Wash tank with laquer thinner or paint thinner Fill, shake, dump, repeat. Dump out the filler area, it’s bigger. Repeat until no debris comes out. Then put it all back together with a new sock. Replace fuel filter. Make sure fuel filter is between the tank and the pump. Make sure the line that feeds the fuel pump is the line with the sock at the tank. Rich |

Well i have found a rebuilt AAR which ill throw in next weekend, se if that fix's it, if not then perhaps the tank and replace the filter while its out too |
