Hi Folks,
I am brand new to this forum and to Porsche in general. I am working on a 1975 914 1.8 engine in California. It is very hard to start after setting several hours, like overnight. It cranks well with the battery and starter but won't start. If I crank it over long enough and after several trys it will fire up. Then it seems to run pretty well. It will restart fine again until I turn it off for several hours again. From a general mechanical stand point it seems like it isn't getting fuel until I crank it over long enough, then it will start and restart. I replaced the fuel pump and filter near the tank up front, but that didn't seem to help.
I could really use some of your experience and help on this problem.
Thanks in advance,
Rick
