1970 - 914-6 All stock

Got the car off the rack after a 1 year clean up documented here:

http://www.914world.com/bbs2/index.php?sho...3371&st=100

- tightened the lugs, check one more time for leaks.......

Car started first try, backed out of the driveway and went around the block

Drive strong.....very strong......

#2 cyl-carb is still 'spitting' definitely not backfiring. Chasing this through my trusty guide:

See "notes" section

Seems that when I performed the Lean Best Idle procedure #2 failed during the procedure......the diagnosis within the document states that either the path in that carb #2 is blocked or the jet is the wrong size - my bet is a clog......though the carbs were very clean when I got the car.

There is a little noise from the right side, that in a 914-2L 4Cyl would be considered quiet, my hope is that it is not valve noise and may be exhaust leaking......did I tighten the heater manifold small nuts????? dry.gif

Less than 1 hour of run time between now and this measurement earlier in the year.

1 - 162
2 - 167
3 - 166
4 - 165
5 - 166
6 - 161

I have the leak down numbers somewhere - but I recall them to be consistent as well,

The valves were all set when the engine was out and on the stand - there is a mention of this within the rebuild thread

Thank you!

ON to the carbs!
