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
-Pat

Hey! I get to be the first one to tell you! You'll be sorry. Trust me, it's a BIG step backwards. While dual carbs can be made to work, especially with a cam change, the Pinto carb you've selected is a known turkey. It will NEVER run well, no matter what you do.
