Ben, I'm glad she is running Greg... sweeeet... I love the copper (hey you gonna do 2nd creek or not?) So in reference to me being the only rrc guy not driving a 914 this weekend... phhhoooeey:

See how I rate?

that's funny, i was thinking the same thing.
Gint's first time driving his own 914 in some time, and no acknowledgement. where's the respect.

If you don't have any thing else to do. LOL. Ben is coming over tomorrow around 6-ish so we can swap dizzies with his car..

It still fires a couple of times and then won't start and run.
I got the car on jackstands and stable. All I did after that by the time it got dark was to verify that the pump energizes electrically upon turning the key and when cranking it has a full 12 volts.

The right rear suspension console ear does have some rust AND the control arm shaft appears to be broken. The nut doesn't move, but the arm and the shaft do. About a 1/4 of an inch. No wonder the ass end was loose and the wheel bearing howling. I'm going to post local for a right side suspension arm. That thing will have to be replaced before I can really drive it again. I didn't realize it was that bad.

maybe it's a good thing that a_ _ was slowing us down on those curves. glad you made it home safe.

Great pics guys! Last time I was at Summit Lake was like....uh....July 1978 , seems like the glaciers have melted quite a bit since I saw them last. Some pretty cool roads out there for sure, like the front side of Look Out Mountain (LOOK OUT!! ), or the road heading up to Boulder Falls..... Everything east of the foothills blows.......or maybe it's cause Kansas sucks!

REAL friends help you move bodies..............and push 914's.

"moving bodies.............and 914's" was in refrence to Gint......

well, i don't know how awesome they are when they spend half their time on jackstands.
but they sure are awesome when they work

She needs to learn to drive a manual transmission first. Then learn how to drive the Porsche's transmission. Then maybe she can really find out how much fun they are TO DRIVE!!!

Oh yeah, did I mention...mine works again...really well!!!

Ben,

what did you and Gint find?
was it a timing/advance issue?
inquiring minds want to know.

Timing was off for some reason.

About 5 degrees retarded.

I can't believe that that cured it, but I'm driving it today!
