Hey everyone. I figured this would be the best source for the information I'm looking for. I have a '74 914 which has been stored in a barn for the past 20 odd years. It was driven in, and basically left there. It's a clean environment, but not heated. I have poked around inside, and it appears that there haven't been any critters living in it over the years.
I'm looking for suggestions on what to change to get it running? Obvious ones I'm planning to do regardless are battery, oil, plugs, wires. Suggestions? |

Gas is going to be a problem. I would remove the expansion tank on top of the tank and look inside. There may be a lot of rust. No need to pump this stuff through the fuel pump and into the injectors. If the tank is rusty, Pick up a different one of have that one cleaned and treated.
