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. |

not knowing anything when i bought my 1.8, i had a reputable shop make the call for me. they installed dual webers (@huge $, btw:() and it's awsome. it sounds great and gurgles like a bada$$ hd.
they talked about the fuel pump (that runs constantly), and a return line to get the excess back to the tank. i'm not a nuthead about this, but i'll get the details next week when i go back to the shop and post them here. |
