Hi, new to the list but not to 914s. My problem is that whenever i try to restart the engine after a short stop, lets say a fuel fill-up, it just doesnt. It cranks, but does not fire. After a while, 5-10 minutes, it does. No problem on cold start, it fires right away. I suspect bad coil, misbehaves when hot. But once started, it runs fine. any clue? My set up: Blue coil, Permatune, Pressure regulator, webers on a 2.2E engine with S-cams. Thanks to all.

Bon, t'as finalement trouver le site!!! Bienvenue!

Ok so we ruled out the carbs and gas issues and it now seems to be electrical or something to do regarding the ignition.

Do you remember from where the permacrap is getting it's power? IIRC we connected it to the + that was used for the engine blower (fan that pushed air in the heat exchangers). I think a relay on the relay board is used for the engine blower. Could it be that the relay doesn't energize properly when it's hot?

As for the easy things, clean the ground stap and connection points if they are dirty. Check if you have spark when it doesn't want to start. Check the wiring going to the permacrap, if it uses a relay, just swap that relay with one coming from the headlights.
