thanks for the leads ,auto atlanta has new ones for 150 ouch,think im going to upgrade to webers as i dont know what else may need replacing and cost will get above carbs
The words "upgrade" and "Webers" do NOT belong in the same sentence in any way, shape, or form. Beyond that, in order to gain any semblance of improved performance, or even to stay the same, you'll have to replace the camshaft. Unless an engine overhaul is in your plans, stick with FI.
Oh, and use the link I sent you in the PM. They have "new ones". The ones in the AA catalog are "cleaned and tested".

here is just one recent thread of someone struggling with their carbs -
http://www.914world.com/bbs2/index.php?showtopic=223678i once had a '69 Austin Healey dual webber carbs, a real PIA in my opinion. i would say that my FI on the 75 914 2.0 i own have been much more depenable
that's not to say that they don't both have their advantages and disadvantages...
but i would say you should work a little on the Fi system first. you might just need to clean the points. and in the 4 years i have fixed or replaced enough of my FI to have purchased carbs but i have a perfectly running motor at this point with all new sensors, points, FI harness from Jeff Bowlsby, and i know what's new and how to check , test and replace most of what is on there and i knew nothing about Bosch FI before i bought this vehicle. It was designed and built to run with that FI. i know guys that have experience working on carbs and know then well so they prefer to tinker with that set up. but i doubt that you will spend less settingup your car with new carbs. and oh, if you go to a shop to have them tune and re- jet them, 4 hours later @$75/hour, suddenly you are in $$$$$. - just say'n
