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

Carb advice sought from those that have chased a SPITTING Carb

Guess I'm lucky to have a 914/6 conversion and a 1975 911S converted to Webers. The 911S starts great, the 914/6 just as you describe. She's in the paint shop now, but will be rolling my sleeves up soon to get after the "hard start"
