Carbs on a completely stock 2.0L, does it work Options

[DanT]

So there is a lot of difference of opinion.
With a totally stock 2L engine including ignition, cam etc
do carbs work effectively?
More noticeable power?
Drivability?
MPG?
Worth the hassle?

As for the modern car argument. I won't get into that because these are not modern cars and they don't have modern F.I.

There are only a few people on this list that are running aftermarket F.I.
I've only heard of a couple success stories. Most are having problems or still working the bugs out.

The vast majority of the 914's still on the road with a stock motor are sporting the original F.I. bits.

Many hundreds ( 1000's? ) of owners have switched over to some form of carbs.

The Jake data quoted is for a 2500cc aftermarket F.I vs 44 IDF's. Interesting I'm sure, but not applicable to most 914 owners. ( the $15-20K factor )

this discussion was a stock 2.0 with D-jet F.I. vs Webers.

I guess the reason this subject comes up so often, is because there are so many problems with people's stock set-up. It can be frustrating trying to get it to run well.

New/reconditioned parts are pretty expensive.
Troubleshooting the issues can be tough. All of the help questions on this forum proves that.
