Carburetor Suggestions Options

[rickso71]

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.

Ok Joe, what is going on with your FI? I would like to help even from long distance.

I installed Djet back on my 914 2.0 back in 98 ripping out the dual dells (still have them) and figured out how to get it working again before BradAnders bible came out.

Djet is so simple its almost funny but a small problem and it runs like crap like most EFI systems.

Took me a day to figure out why my 94 Ranger would only drive one block last year. I discovered a small piece of paper towel lodged in the HotWire sensor from the quickie oil change place.
