Not sure if this is the thread that T.C. wanted these in, but I went ahead and tore Betsy's carbs completely down. They were gummed up, including the throttle shafts, requiring a teardown. Removed the butterflies, regreased/repacked the shaft bearings, replaced all parts in the kit, reset the float levels, repeened the lead plugs and did a total rebuild. Whenever someone sends me carbs, I try my best to document the linkage adapters and assemble them exactly as they came to me so they are plug-and-play when the customer receives them (of course the final picture doesn't show that (IMG:style_emoticons/default/headbang.gif) ). Hopefully T.C. can bolt these in and get her back on the road. Of course, since we're both in the same area, I'm going to come by and sync them when he's ready, but for now, I think these will do well.

You are Awesome George! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/aktion035.gif)

Carlos is away this weekend, so I will be going down there the weekend after.

I've got plenty to put on;
the 5 Lug Fuchs (6&7s) are Polished, Tires Mounted
The 908 Calipers are back from PMB - Super Great Service from Eric. These were rebuilt by Eric a couple of years ago, but just installed recently, but leaked like Crazy. I quick call to E and they were on their way back to him. He said he had never seen the problem before, re-sealed them and they are back in Sarasota and on the car.
I bought a MSD Billit Dizzy, so that will go on.

Then it will be super road worthy.

After that, I have a RennShifter to install!

Big Shout out to PMB for some very quick Warranty Work!

Another Shout out to ThePaintedMan for Rebuilding my Carbs!

Always a Shout Out to Millie for her wonderful Service Covers! If you don't have one of these, buy Two - 1 for yourself and 1 for a fellow 914 buddy!

Thanks, I'm lovin it too!

I hated this car for a while as it sat in Paint Prison for so long and that is why I sold it to Carlos & his partner. Glad I could work a deal to get it back.

I have re-ignited Carlos's interest in 914s. He now has his Partners 914-6 Race Car that I sold him, the 74 little rusty but restorable 914 that that came from 4Blades and a Customers 1.7

Carlos is a Porsche Master Mechanic - other cars in his shop, Carrera 3.0 Targa, '70 911S, 928 Race Car, 993 Turbo, 996 Cup Car that was driven by Wolf Hensler, 964 Cab, 944 Turbo Race Car, and 4-5 996s

TC I love Betsy & the work done to it. Only question I have. Why do the 16x7 in back but stick with the 16x6 up front. The 7's fit better up front anyway. Plus look better (IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif) In my opinion anyway. You have my blessing to change the front's to 16x7 to make it look right (IMG:style_emoticons/default/evilgrin.gif) Which we all know everyone covet's (IMG:style_emoticons/default/happy11.gif) (my blessing) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/aktion035.gif)

I'm a shithead and didn't make it out to the shop today again (IMG:style_emoticons/default/headbang.gif) Really sorry T.C. - this whole Daddy thing takes more time than I ever thought it would. I'll tune the carbs Monday evening if that works for you.
