Looking into a well-kept 76 2.0 liter with 130K.
Strong looker with "no rust" but has carbs and I told myself I really want injection. The injection parts are in a sealed cardboard box, car has had carbs (almost typed "crabs") for 15 years or more. Question is, why did I tell myself I want injection? I'm not a real CW but one of the vendors' site about buying the 914 has the "beware the carbs" caveat in the article. More HP out of the engine with carbs? More reliable? Thanks for advice. biz |

QUOTE has carbs and I told myself I really want injection First of all welcome to the forum. This is a great place for info. If you do a search you will find opinions form one end to the other about carbs vs. FI. If you can get the FI set up right it should work great. Afterall that's what the engineers thought in the 70's. Carbs take some effort to keep running well. If you are a tweaker then leave it. I had the same question about HP and "experts" on the forum pretty much said it was no difference. Or if it's a few hp increase that is still not enough to notice. I have FI and just told myself that I would replace all the seals and hoses and assure that all the sensors and and switches and valves work. I am really happy with the FI. |
