Hi Everyone,
I am thinking about switching over to carbs. My stock FI is proving to be a PITA to fix and is costly. Can anybody recommend a good carb kit for a 74 914 w/ stock motor? All I know is that I heard webber was not good and I also heard something about having to add a cam if changing over to carbs. Can anyone help? |

Thank You everyone for all your help. This is by far the best forum I have ever been a member of.
I have decided to work out the kinks in the FI system. The Circuit Board that is to the left of the engine was faulty in some way and the Shop is sending it out to Pelican who will then fix it and send it back. Hopefully that will do the trick. Thanks again for all the support. I'm really glad to have the porsche and be a part of this community. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/rocking nana.gif) |
