Alright everyone, I need a little help.
I have a '73 914 with a 2.0. Spent the last 7 months rebuilding the brakes, suspension, interior and painting it. PO said the engine was recently rebuilt. I haven't checked the compression yet. It has a single carb, Weber/Redline 32/36 DGEV recently rebuilt. I didn't record the jet sizes. My problem is that it just doesn't pull hard at all. Took me almost a mile to get to 45mph and 4th. At rest, when I work the throttle, it responds great and spins up to high RPM quickly. I verified that the accelerator is opening the throttle all the way. I have verified that I don't have a break/caliper that is stuck. Not sure if it is related, but just to have the whole story, it also has issues starting. With a newly rebuilt starter, new fully charged battery and with all the ground straps removed, cleaned and tightened. It turns over for a second and then just stops, hesitates and then turns over again but very slowly. Key off/on and it does the same thing. I know the aerodynamics are not that bad! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/evilgrin.gif) So where do I look first and then second? Thanks. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sunglasses.gif) |
