 Why Didn't You do Anything to Your 914 Today?, or, What the Fuch is Keeping You From Working on it? |

QUOTE(fixer34 @ Aug 29 2025, 03:22 PM)  QUOTE(Shivers @ Aug 28 2025, 06:16 AM) QUOTE(fixer34 @ Aug 27 2025, 05:51 PM) took apart my Church's lawn tractor engine to repair. Ever hear of a compression release camshaft? Nifty idea in theory, sucks in real world. Search 'Briggs & Stratton camshaft'. My Kubota L225 has that on a 3 cylinder diesel. I'm hoping it is designed a LOT better than the B&S. From what I read, it is 'when' it will fail, not 'if'.... Tractor mentality, they made it simple. If you read explosion the two pronged forks that bolt to the decompression shaft just pushed down on the valve spring retainer taking the pressure off the valve seat. Of course I could not find a picture of the fork in the parts manual, but the basic part numbers of the rest of the system are marked in red on the image. Really simple system just a pull cable out of the dash  |

Needed 4x4 to get here, so no 914.

QUOTE(Cairo94507 @ Aug 16 2025, 05:21 AM) And, we spotted Enrique ( @RiqueMar ) with his 914-6 (914Seis) and had to stop and admire that beauty. The car is very well done and he drives it like he means it. Great talking with him about our cars. In case you were wondering, I am the old dude on the right. I'm very late (locked out of my account, didn't put the effort in until recently) and so happy to see this. Fun times, great seeing you @Cairo94507 ! |

No worries my friend. Hope to see you next year; we are planning to take my car and Greg T. says he will take his willow green car too. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif)
