Back in the 80's I put carbs on my 1.8. Ran great, went to Porsche Parades from Boston to Denver with no issues. Now with a 2.2 S six with PMOs and love it.

QUOTE(ctc911ctc @ May 7 2025, 09:56 AM)  On the Road Experience 1. Extra Relay for the Fuel Pump - know that the pump SHOULD make noise for 2 seconds once the key is turned If the cabin heat fan works, you can switch this relay with the fuel pump 2. Ignition Switch - only when it is raining hard, or below zero and you only have a light jacket will this fail - know this symptom - no spark but everything else works => ignition switch 3, When you are hill climbing and the car is hot and you stop for a Nehi Grape Soda, when you try and restart it may just not start. There are a few issues (yes more than just the position of the fuel pump) that in my experience cause this. Just finish the soda, enjoy the scenery and wait 20-30 minutes. It will start and will never tell you why it would not. This can be a real tail chaser.......yes, this happened to me in a car where the pump was in the Frunk.......10 below and with a date........sigh.....I still need therapy. 4. bumps - you can feel pebbles on the road in this car, limit the drive-per-day to 300miles, after 300 miles that the sport-feel-fatigue can make you wish for a sloppy driving mid 60s Cadillac (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/laugh.gif) Experience is a great teacher. Rather painful at times,but those are the lessons you remember eh! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/lol-2.gif) |
