Hey, I'm fairly new to the 914 community. I just purchased a weber progressive carburetor for my 914. What all am I going to need to do to switch over from the fuel injection. All help is greatly appreciated.

Thanks

I beg you, please don't do it.....

I did it on my 1.7, and it sucks real bad.

teh runners dont get warm enough

runs lean->ok->lean->really lean->ok->lean->lean->

DONT DO IT!

I've done the conversion myself and there is no benefit!


Seriously reconsider...
