It seems like yesterday, but I recall running an engine at WOT for a short time, cutting off the power and coasting to a stop. These days we have air/fuel readers fed information from 02 sensors, with mapping, blah, blah. I suppose some of us older guys have gotten up to speed with tech, but not this guy. Our recent 914 purchase had previously received a Holley 2V carb conversion. It was starting/running decent, but pulled the engine to repair a bad oil leak. The front (hub) seal was loose in the case, so it seems as though I found the oil leak and also decided to pull the plugs for a quick clean. I was pleasantly surprised to find all the plugs a light tan color.
