I've seen the advice... dual carbs or FI... DON"T GO SINGLE CARB! I plan to return to FI, possibly over the winter, but unfortunately right now all I have is a single carb and it's not running very well and I want to drive the car for a while before winter.
Anyone have a single progressive carb setup that runs OK? Not looking for blistering acceleration just something driveable. My problem is giving gas off idle causes a stumble and I need to work the gas to be able to accelerate. Don't know if single carb can be driveable or if just something wrong with my setup. Have tried different settings of mixture. The car is a '71 1.7L with Weber 32/36 DFEV. |

you can make a single carb work on a 914.i drove for two years on one.you have to run rich to get it to work right with your motor.this is the reason why people recomend againts using one.YOU CAN MAKE A SINGLE CARB WORK.you just wont be doing your motor any favors in the long run or get anytype of performance/economy period,but you can make it run smoothly.i ran a dgav weber.make sure your ignition is all in order first.b4 you start on adjusting the carb.you may have to jet up to get it to work right.a single carb can get you by.till you get a better fuel system.
