Now that the milder 2056 is in the car, I could use some advice on carb tune.
compression is at 8.8:1, valves are 44/38, cam is Webcam 86a. Weber IDF 40's have 37mm venturis, 135 mains airjets 200 F11 emulsion tube I am told by the builder that I should step down to 34 venturis, but, have no idea where else to start. Car will go to a good tuner soon enough, just want o have a good starting point. |

I'v got a 75 914 2.0 unknown piston and crank with
Weber 40 DNCF 101-250 4D Venturis: 30mm Mains: 145 Idle Jets: 65 Airjets: 210 Emulsion Tube: F36 When I bought it it had 57.5 Idle Jets and back fired at idle and at 2500 RPM. I went down to 50s and it got worse. It runs lots better with 65s. Theres some popping when coasting in gear. I'm at ~4300ft elevation. 50s should be the right size from what I've read but they are not working in my car. My idle mixture screws have to be turned way out also for it to run good. They were between 10 and 11 turns with the 57.5s when I got it. I've got it at 5 turns with the 65s. Big idles and lots of turns. It doesn't seem right but its running way better. |
