I have a completely stock 914-6 - weber carbs. When the engine is cold the car idles about 900 RPM. As it heats up the idle speed increases until it is idlying at about 1700 RPM when fully warmed up. It starts and runs fine. Just the high idle. Ambient temperature is currently around 85 degrees.
Since it is temperature related I'm currently thinking mabye a vacuum leak...loose manifold bolt. Any ideas on this one? Ken Schipper |

Do you use the fast idle handle when cold? It's that handle next to the gear shift.....
If you don't....my guess is that the idle is set to high for warm running and it needs to be turned down.....cold starts, pull up on the handle...when warm push down. It's also a poorman's cruise control. Triple Webers do not have an electric or manual choke....just that fast idle thingy.... |

I have never heard of it being done in a six conversion. It sounds like a nice thing to install in a six conversion. |
