So I got me a second 914, to drive while I finish restoring the "keeper". But it has dual webber 40's with issues.. It doesn't like to idle, and if I spray carb cleaner into some of the venturies it idles better, others not. Should I just pull them and rebuild them? Turning the adjustment screws doesn't seem to make much difference.
I'm trying to acertain whether or not it has the stock cam, if it does I'll probably go back to fuel injection. |

Rebuilding the carbs is an easy task you can do in one evening. Go slow and stay organized. Pull both carbs, but just dismantle one of them, so you can refer to the other if you need to. But before you do that, as others have said, pull the idle jets and use compressed air to clear them. Spray your cleaner into the screw holes. Also, remove all 4 of the fuel/air adjustment screws (refer to the manual). Clean them and make sure a PO hasn't bent them. Gently seat them and screw out 2.5 turns. Then use the manual for adjustment procedures. Sounds like your linkage may need to be upgraded. Do you have a pic of it? That's some nasty looking rust!
