hello everyone my name is steve and my ? is has anyone gone from the l jetronic to carb was thinking dual webber 44s or a single webber..

I think it may have been done...

Try the search feature. You'll find piles and piles and piles of information, plus many divergent points of view. Happy reading!

Seriously, on the tool bar at the above right there is a function called "search." If you try searching for carbs from fuel injection or some derivative of that, you should find a bunch of information.

People give up on their stock fuel injection all the time and I would guess that 30% of all 914's left on the road have had their EFI removed.

Do not however, go down the single carb road...

NOoooooooooooo

Oh &

If you do go with the single carb I have a setup available for $150 including the intake runners!

44's are for big engines, single Webers are for Ford Pintos.
The most you can run are 40's.

Single Carb, NO and NO , Oh yes did I say NO, again NO!!!!!!!!!!!!!

If you must ditch the Excellent running( thats why they built it that way) F.I.

go with 40's ,and the H.P. losse. Been there do that . Dave

From what I've seen here, you're better off fixing the FI system if you have a stock engine with a stock cam. Carbs (note the plural) are at their best when matched with an appropriate cam. Single carb is prone to fuel pooling in the long runners and is generally considered a last resort.

Oh, and

Welcome! I'm kinda new myself

If you decide to switch to carbs, let me know. I currently have carbs and am using my 914 as a DD... that setup with the frigid air up here in Idaho doesn't go so well. It takes me three or four times to start the engine and keep it going... thats after tinkering with the timing and dwell multiple times.

I have put a single progressive two barrel on my 914 and probably shouldn't have. However, I have a plan to make it work beyond the wildest assumptions of all in 914 World

Once an L-Jet is sorted out, it's very reliable and requires little or no adjustments to keep it running. Having said that, there are a number of things that have to be working, all of which have been covered in previous threads. Carbs are sexy, Einspritzung is plain Jane.

Me have trouble understand what you write because me use to see dots at the end of each sentence and not group them at the end of the paragraph but me not american so maybe that is the reason me have trouble reading you...

Bienvenue à 914world
