what do i do?
just bought a STOCK BEAUTIFUL '72 1.7FI
always had carbs......it runs soooooooo smooth with the FI that im not ready to throw in the towel for my 40's...........yet, or should I?
it runs nice.....but i actually expected more power outta a porsche
my old bugs 1776cc had HELLA more headsnapping action....?? mebbe its the FI being weird? *crossing fingers*
it's mostly fine....but sometimes after coming off crusing speed for a bit, [5-10 min.....i live in WAY northern california, humboldt county, almost oregon, sea level, not to far to drive till i get to where im goin...so it never gets much workout...] it will stall out when it drops to idle.... then every time, till later after not being driven for a bit....the last few blocks home after getting off the highway is usually pretty aggro...
the other day tooling around Eureka, it was stalling out @ every red light & stop sign, i had to keep my foot on da gas to kep her from chokin out...
i bought a haynes mannual for my car already, but it says D-Jets you cant really do shit too.....so where am i left? i have nice carbs that can be dropped in an afternoon, but id like to rectify this insted if possible..
i ran 2 cans of chemtool injector cleaner through it with premium gas always [my old motor's builder said with the compression in it i should run hi-test]....should i run preimum in the 914 too? and it did feel better i think after those bottles of cleaner....
what now ?
thnks
