I've owned my 914 for 43 years. When I open the frunk, the handle stays in the "pulled out" position, I have to push it back in by hand. Is this how they all work? No spring to pull the handle back in? My engine compartment lid has a spring that pulls the handle back.

Yes. But once you get accustomed to how it works you automatically push it in after the hood pops.
Just a reminder to anyone who has a front trunk handle failure, you can access the latch mechanism by removing the bumper. There is an access hole, maybe the size of a dime, right in front of the latch mechanism on the nose panel; a screwdriver will pop the latch so the trunk opens.
