Practicing my perpendicular parking  Group: Members Posts: 4,277 Joined: 19-April 03 From: Los Osos, CA Member No.: 587 Region Association: Central California  |
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. |

Well, since you said "cheapest"... (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif) I found two "rebuild" kits at my local Bug establishment. There may be better prices elsewhere. I'd shop. There is the "lite" kit that has gaskets & rubber O-rings... 9.99 per carb. The other kit has the above plus "needle & seat" for the float and a new diaphragm... 39.99 per carb. I bought the lite kit since my carbs are only 3 years old. If you don't have any idea as to the age or real condition of your carbs, there is a test you can do that might save some money. You can place a very small vial under the jet nozzle and see if all four pump the same amount of fuel repeatedly. If they do, the diaphragms are probably okay. I can look up the amount of cc's they are supposed to pump if you want. Do not dismantle the diaphragm unless you have a new replacement. You can do a visual inspection of the needle & seat. If they look okay under some sort of magnification, they may be okay. If they look good, and the diaphragms seem to being their job, then the "lite" kit may take care of you. It's a gamble. You may save 60 bucks or you may end up spending 20 bucks plus 80 bucks and doing it twice. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/wacko.gif) There are others here that are more knowledgeable. If you just want to be done with it, pop $$ for the big kit. But as long as you DIY, you'll be way ahead in the end. .. |
