I have a new to me 73, 914 - 2.0 with original F.I.. It just does not want to run right. It is really "boggy" in the low rpm's especially when cruising at one speed. If I get on it, it runs really strong. It doesn't backfire, it just hesitates and doesn't want to run smoothly below 2800 rpm (IMG:style_emoticons/default/chair.gif) .
It was just recently gone through and tuned and all of the vacuum hoses and fuel lines were replaced. The P.O. claims that it has an "Elgin" cam. Would that make the point settings different from the book when I adjust the dwell? It really does not want to run very well when the dwell is at the specified 45 degrees. It runs much better at about 28 degrees (IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif) . I am about to bring it into a shop to see if they can help - although I will have to rely on a VW shop here in the Madison Wisconsin area. Anyone have good suggestions? Thanks. Warrenoliver |
