Yup, a leaky #3 injector hose & a fouled #2 spark plug is all that was keeping the 74 2.0 from running like it used to....F A S T (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/boldblue.gif)

This is the car Craig helped me by towing it from a shop where it'd been sitting for a year.

I drained the old gas & put in some new. Checked the oil & found it a qt low and in need of a change. Turned the key to pressure up the system & found that leak. It had the original injector crimped hose. I'll replace all the fuel injector hoses along with points, plugs, oil & tranny fluid. Give it a good valve adjustment & be ready for the

Make your brother-in-law a cash offer BEFORE you tell him it runs!
A man cannot live by Miata alone.  


I just went out to feed the horses and as I walked by the 914 I heard (in my mind) I sure love those cars (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/cool.gif)
So I fed the critters, came out & began filling their water bucket. Then went into the shop to retrieve the 914 car cover I had on the shelf (Punkins[sniff]) and covered the 'lil car for the night. It sits between the T100 & my ScoobyDoo under the car port.

I got him on the phone this afternoon & let him listen to it so he knows! I'm sure he'd make me a good deal.

Good news Bruce. Ghost of Punkin rides again.  


I'll accept that but not the engine problems I had with Punkin (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/smash.gif) The bro-n-law said it was always dependable (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/confused24.gif) I din't know a 914 could be with Punkin the way it was (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/rolleyes.gif)
Oh well, I may give it another try

cuz I do love these cars (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/slap.gif)
