Hi All, Long story short, I bought a 914 with two turbos strapped to the back and a Holley EFI installed. It never ran well so I decided ditch the turbos and try carbs. Prior to installing the carbs, I took a shot at adjusting the valves as I thought that might be contributing the car running rough.
Now with the carbs installed, it seems the valves in cylinder 2 are off. Lots of knocking and exhaust coming out of the cylinder 2 carbs. Is this a valve adjustment issue? Or something else like timing? Much appreciate the help. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tzSmoiLO8mc |

Welcome to 914world ra great place for you to get answers as we have so many guys super knowledgeable on these cars. There's going to be a debate about you having a turbo versus you having carbs or different kind of fuel injection, but I personally would have stayed with the turbos and the holly and got that to work. In the test video on BAT you never really see the guy jamming on it. Did it ever run strong? Best of luck Bob B (IMG:style_emoticons/default/welcome.png) |
