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. |

Actually the connecting rod supports "look" adequate. Do they flex?
As was pointed out, you need to adjust the "angle" of your throttle cable bracket to allow the cable to make a straight line to the linkage arm. You could upgrade the down linkage to heim joints and remove slop. If you decide to replace all the linkage, check with Dave at Triad. They offer a nice kit. I would definitely remove and clean those carbs! And while doing so, spend some time inspecting all the jets for damage from PO abuse and make sure they all match in size. |
