Hey guys. New to the forum and new to a 1972 914 1.7L. Very excited to play around with it. I had a 1978 911 a few years back but my favorite has always been a 914. I got it for an even trade on a 1984 Thundercraft boat. I think I did pretty good.
It is in really good shape in and out. Car runs ok but I do have a couple of questions. 1. I changed the oil and it had a log of gas in it. What could cause this? Not driving it enough for it to evaporate (I read that somewhere). 2. I have also have a few hoses that don't go anywhere and open spots on the engine that look like they need those hoses. I just don't know what goes where. Can someone point me to a some open engine hatches for a 1.7. I can find 2.0's and conversions all over. Just not the one I need. 3. How do you check for vacuum leaks? I hear these are common on these Porsches. Again, thanks for any help. Excited to be part of 914world.....

Here's a diagram for your 1.7 vacuum hoses. http://www.914world.com/bbs2/index.php?act...t&id=212385 If you have vacuum leaks with Djet, your idle will be high. You should be idling around 850-900rpm. If you're there, you're good. If you're above that you likely have vacuum leaks. Gas in oil is from leaky injectors or a leaky cold start valve. |

That is exactly what I needed......Thanks! |

Change all your fuel hoses and fuel injection rubber. You don't want to blow up. |
