If they were mine I might take this approach, but removing the springs & associated bits & replacing them with some simple spacers provide the owner ability to reverse if it is ever desired.
Given that the accompanying jets have to be retained wonder what (negative) affect might be in tuning ? |

I've never seen the cold start enrichment used on a 914, and I don't think it's needed. I had dual Webers on my daily driver 914 back in the 80's (it was my only car) and it started good in cold weather without the enrichment system, which was long since discontinued by Weber

QUOTE(IronHillRestorations @ Aug 20 2021, 11:18 AM)  I've never seen the cold start enrichment used on a 914, and I don't think it's needed. Ive never seen it either thats why when I tore into this set Im going "WTF is all this"! Apparently it was manually cable operated ala early domestic trucks via a knob on the dash, but unless there was a way to bridge them together actuating both carbs from one cable, what ..2 knobs. Plus cable routing on a 914 would be a bitch! |

At one point I had plans to add a 914-6 throttle lever in front of the shifter and run bicycle cables back to the cold start valves to operate them like the heater valves. That was before learning those valves are prone to stick open and cause the carbs to run dangerously rich.
