I started up my 1975 914 1.8 recently after not driving it for a number of months. It started fine, but when the idle speed dropped down after startup, it quit. I took it out for a 15 mile drive thinking it might help, but still won't idle. It seems to run fine other than that. The last time I had it out previous to this, it idled fine. If idle speed adjustment is the fix, I can probably handle that. My only concern is if this is part of a bigger problem as I plan on taking it on an 800 mile trip soon. It's been tuned up by a trusted mechanic (who's 300 miles away) in the last 1500 miles. All thoughts and suggstions appreciated!
