My boss owns a 1.7 914 with a single carb. He is looking for a little more zip.
I forgot to ask year. I suggested going to a dual weber set up and maybe a better exhaust to add a few pony's. Any one up that way with a shop that can help him out.. He is not that good with a wrench!! Greg |

I built a 1.7 into a 1911 and really enjoyed it.
Not "fast".... but much more fun. Good luck. |

Then went to 1911 + a cam and already had dual Webers at the start. Way more fun. The problem is scope creep . . . the dreaded "while I'm in there syndrome". Your not going to find a great deal of joy with the single carb setup. Those long intake runners were never designed to be carrying a fuel and air mixture. @914werke in seattle. There are a couple guys on the board in the CDA Idaho area that might be able to chime in. However, better to travel across the state than to leave it to someone else to learn on using his dime. |

I have used a shop by Silverwood for the carbs on my 6. Has also worked on other air cooled cars for me. More knowledge and reasonable rates compared to Gee. I will dig up the details if you want to send a PM.
