Hello fellow 914ers. For starters, I finally got my engine started! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/mueba.gif) My neighbor (who happens to be a licensed electrician) and I figured out that my tach wire is acting as a ground, and was grounding out my coil. Remove the wire and the car starts right up! Damn electrical gremlins. Now I just need to trace that wire and find out where the problem is.
But with a long, rainy, Oregon winter looming, I'm thinking of winter projects. I have a 1974 1.8 with L-jet. If I build up a stock 2.0 this winter, would I still be able to use my L-jet, or would I need to find a 2.0 FI system to support the engine? Not set on the idea, but just mulling it over in my mind... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/idea.gif) |
