Had the 914 out a couple times this weekend and noticed some hesitation while at light throttle cruising, say at like 25-30mph in 3rd.
I just recently did a valve adjustment and checked timing per the manual, had to clean up the points a little bit as one side had a little bit of a 'tit' starting to grow. Other than the hesitation it seems to be running well still, maybe a bit on the warmer side compared to what it used to be? (Also first time out this summer, ran it a few times this spring when it was nice and cool) But it has good power, and no audible changes in tone. What should I be checking first? Timing looked like it was right on the mark with vac line off and at about 3-3.5k rpm so I don't *think* that's the issue. |

Report back after driving with TPS unplugged. Yesterday on the way home (low 60s F) it seemed to do much better. Idle seemed to suffer a bit, but that's not surprising since it would never go on the idle circuit.
This morning I also left it unplugged on the way in this morning (mid 30s F) and the hesitation came back, though possibly not as bad as before. So it sounds like it might be a combination of the TPS and distributor, so I'll go through both of those again just like last time. Maybe I missed something last time, or didn't put enough oil on the weights. I'll find out and report back, I appreciate everyone's input. Not working on these things every day I have a vague idea of how the system works but not always good enough to diagnose an issue. And all my manuals are in a box somewhere yet to be unpacked as well. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/driving.gif) |
