Sorry for such a basic question for the real teeners here. I recently got a nice 914-6 and love it- great handling/looks, reliving my younger days. The stock webers are fine but require more tuning than I can do... They are fine at startup but rich, hard to start with when warm (stopping to get gas) , OK when hot, weak at altitiude, etc. Very adjustable but I understand why modern cars went to FI. I've considered a more modern Porsche FI but they can also be just as finicky for the untrained. Now I hear about the PMO carbs and their new throttle body. I can handle adjusting valves, oil changes, points, timing, etc every 5-6k miles or so but the carb thing has me very frustrated- no big deal for most of you but, is there an easier way, even if it costs a little. Since this is the definitive source for all info on my new car, what do you think? Btw, it's stock except 2.2 L when last rebuilt.
