I got my 914 running this evening!!!! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/pray.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smilie_pokal.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/clap56.gif)
It hasnt run since I had to pull the engine down due to the cam gear coming loose. I ended up using a different type IV engine. I have a 2.0 vanagon w/8.2:1 cr, AMC heads with 41x34 valves. I'm running the stock hydraulic fi cam due to this being a temporary engine. I have 44 IDFs on it w/36 ven,55 idle, 175 main, 200 air,bypass screws set all the way in, and mixture screw 1 1/2 turns out. I'm running a facet pump. When I can get it running(have to pump the accelerator pump about 5-6 times, it runs really rough. It wants to stay around 600-700 rpm and just stumble. The throat on #2 is spitting gas out the top pretty bad. I'm guessing I need to adjust my valves again. When I can get it to gain rpm, instead of just cough and die when I touch the throttle, it just spits and pops. It's not wanting to pull smooth at all. Its even backfiring into the carbs and having a little flash fire at the top of the carb. John |
