hey guys first post so take it easy lol. Recently acquired 76 914. I have a dual carburetor setup with the hex bar and i am having problems with the idle and the rpms hanging after stepping on the gas. I don't believe it is a problem with the hex bar or linkages but with the carburetors themselves. i am getting a rhythmic chirping and an jumpy idle. when i engage the clutch to shift the rpms will hang where they were until they are forced to come down from the shifting. I dont know a whole lot about cars let alone carburetors but i believe i have ruled out the hex bar and throttle. Any advice would be appreciated. thanks

Hopefully someone with more experience in carbs can chime in. |

If you have recently acquired this car, then you really have no idea how the tune is. So, I would see if someone local could give you a hand and adjust the valves, do a good tune up, and synch the carbs. If you still have issues then you may need some carb work. I let the carb gurus explain that as I have fuel injection on mine and don't know these carbs.
Good luck and (IMG:style_emoticons/default/welcome.png) Tom |
