So I started her long enough to move her out of the garage to clean up the garage. She was on for less than 30 seconds.
Moved the 914 back in the garage and continued on doing what I was doing. A week later I come out to detail the car and open it up and it smells like gas. Not a STRONG helping, but definitely noticeable. I'm guessing since it was cold that perhaps some of the smell of it running rich came back in the cabin area? My actual fear is that isn't the case, but that one of the old lines running through in the cabin area may have a tiny crack or is letting a small leak out. I know they aren't a pressurized line, but I'm unsure what to think. I am unable to track down where it's coming from, but it's the second time now I've smelled it. I want to preserve the originality of the car, if it comes down to replacing the lines, are they available? Or will i need to go to the stainless hardlines that are available? I want the car to be safe, but at the same time preserve the original stuff in it. |
