I'm new to 914s (although I drove a Beetle for many years) and need some advice on carburetors. THe '71 914 I bought had its FI replaced with a carb although I don't know what kind. it's rebuilt engine is not in the car so I can't tell how it works. I was told the carb is a "no-bowl" variety which is typically used for racing and would not be that great on the street.
What would be a good carburetor/fuel pump for me? I want something for street use and an occasional autocross, decent mileage, and reasonable performance. I do have the old FI parts but 1) they're scattered in several boxes so I don't know what's what, 2) they look pretty grungy. It seems the easier route would be a carburetor. |

Give him a brake you guys.
What are you going to do with the car? Do you understand carbs, do you understand injection? The cars came carbed everywhere but here(the US) even Canada. I highly sugest duel solex like the factory. Linda Horne, who posts here as (L.) is triered of not making events because of not being able to deal with her injection and will buy duel solex 40 with a hex bar and C B fuel pump this weekend. Eventualy she would like a -6 conversion. I converted my 1.8 to carbs because I needed a driver. It runs great. Better than any 1.7 I've driven and I did not change the cam. I'm a die hard carb guy, but I have a nice D-Jet that I spent over $1500 on tools just to tune and troubel shoot and I'm still tuneing a year after the engine went back in the car.
