Well, my car has been almost ready to run for about a month and a half now. It just runs WAY too fat and I can't figure out why. I've replaced the fuel pump, cleaned the injectors and tested them, adjusted the fuel pressure, Blah blah blah. It's still runs way too rich (when it's not too flooded to run at all, that is), and in the process of my diagnostic, all my wires are breaking right at those stupid little plastic connectors, and they're not really solderable. The only thing really left is to replace the whole loom and computer, but I don't really want to get into that.
My question: What is a good carb setup for a 1.7? The simpler the better. As an alterative, since I want to go to a bigger motor and weber 44s later anyways, would it work to put the 44s on with smaller venturis? Any help just to get this thing on the road would be appreciated, because I'm rather frustrated at this point. 107 posts, four months, $4000, and I haven't even driven a 914 yet.

I don't see any reason why you could not jet the 44's down, changing the venturies
should not be nesessary. |
