I (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wub.gif) my 914. This one is really special. Extremely clean, rust free (no really!) and original. I parted with my last one when I really didn't want to and regretted it severely!
However, the car is depressing me! After Clay helped me put the FI back on (which turned in to a mild debacle) she ran like a dream for a while, then the rebuilt feul pump started to "whine". It's internment so I still haven't diagnosed that propperly. Then I put new plugs in (on the recommendation of Clay) and now the damn thing is running like an old Briggs and Stratton Hit & Miss engine. I am NOT mechanical. I never have been. I know enough to diagnose and fix small problems but don't really even have the base knowledge about engines that most all of you guys take for granted. Am I kidding myself trying to own a 914? It seems like the maintenance never ends and after having the car (in running condition) for about a year now, I've barely been able to enjoy 2-3 months of driving! Should I just give up and let someone else who has more know how and mechanical stamina take care of the old girl? Suicidally yours.. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sad2.gif) Doug |

Sorry to here. But really, these are on the plus side of 30 years old now. If you don't have the skills to keep it going, fine a local mechanic that you can trust and have him/her... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) keep up with the maintainance. It's important to keep up with the little things before that get big. These air cooled engines don't like when they are out of tune. They tend to self destruct as a result of neglect. My advise, find someone you can trust and stick with it.
