Recently my dual Webber carb'd 914 is popping and back firing during acceleration and letting off the accelerator, they have been on my car for a year or so and I haven’t them and the gas is new and clean. Anyone have any ideas to the solution. Thanks Mike (IMG:style_emoticons/default/icon8.gif)

I use to have popping through the carb and ehaust and found out that the

carb linkage had gotten out of abjustment so one side opened before the

the other and also closed before the other. after setting linkage the

same I now don't get the popping. Might ckeck and see if you have the

same problem with linkage to the carbs. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/driving.gif)

Popping through the intakes is a sign of a lean condition, not a rich one. The Cap'n

Gosh my ans. follows the Capt'n and Jake I feel intimadated ( sp)

but I would pull the idle jets & blow them out. Watch out for the little O-rings.

drop one of those in the engine bay , not fun finding it. My 2 cents!

Should have qualified that statement:
  • good voltage
  • good compression
  • no vacuum leaks
  • properly tuned
    [list]
  • then check the idle jets-and don't cut the o-ring!, its will cause a clogged jet.

agreed, Idle jets.
You have driven it for a year and you have not found the idle jets yet? you must not drive much...they tend to get clogged up often...just a simple thing to remove, blow out and reinstall.
