I fired up my 914, and let it idle in the drive way for a while, and noticed that small dots of black stuff (looks like oil splatter) seem to come out and stain the concrete. These aren't liquid at all, but are a black powdery soot.
Is it normal to have these black soot marks? Do you think this is because my car has sat for some time? |

Aren't you the Terry Mason I've been trying to get in touch with? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)
I believe I goofed up and found a check of yours and we didn't send you some brake clips. Should I tear that check up? Do you need clips? There should be two screws at the base as most of these Dellorto and Zeinith carbs are kinda Weber clones. The smaller screw sets the balance between throats. Close them all down and read the one with the most airflow. Open the others up to match. The larger screw is the enrichment screw. There are various ways to set these but, you should try to find an EGA. Otherwise, you can set by ear and idle. I don't have a 911 manual around me here but they give a decent method for tunning Webers etc... E. |
