I already posted this question in a german froum, but I'd like to get more opinions on that topic
it's about an original 914-6, which got a complete enigne rebuilt (incl. new cylinders, pistons chains, ...) 20 years ago then the owner drove it for about 3k miles within the next 7 years from 1994 on, the car was stored away and never started again ... so, how to awake this engine correctly, to avoid and long term damage (IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif) some told me there might be problems with the carbs, probably any rust inside the cylinders and bearings and, and, and ... any comments appreceated (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/bye1.gif) Gustl |

Going thru the same thing with a /6 conversion that was parked 20 years ago (1990).
Pull tank and flush .... change filter sock Blow fuel lines clear Change fuel lines Change filter and fuel pump Rebuild carbs Pull sparkplugs Squirt penetrant and/or oil in cylinders Rotate engine ... if frozen, fill cylinders with diesel fuel and let sit for 3 - 5 days and try again. Change oil and filter Set static timing with new points/condenser Let 'er rip Got my fingers crossed that the one I'm working on will fire. Have already turned engine over with no problems. Got one sparkplug that didn't want to move ... won't force it .... will hopefully fire engine and heat it up ... after cooling will see if it will move. My opinion only ... others will vary |
