Re: 914 2.0 > 3.0 GT Conversion
It's been a frustrating few months trying to get the engine running well. I've tried everything I know and more after hours of searching online. So after taking a break for a while to save my sanity, I did the right thing and got someone a damn sight more knowledgeable than me to get it sorted.
Today, in glorious sunshine, it left again on the back of a trailer. All I can do now is hope it's nothing too serious.

Let’s hope it’s just a silly set up thing. Fingers crossed!

I do hope to Gary. It has done some bizarre things over the last few months - I've scratched my head so much it hurts!Gary71 wrote:Let’s hope it’s just a silly set up thing. Fingers crossed!

I'm sure this is a silly question, but have you had your fuel tank cleaned out? John

Re: 914 2.0 > 3.0 GT Conversion
I got the good news today all is good with the car and it was my shoddy work on the carbs causing the issue
I've never been more relieved knowing it was just something I'd done wrong.
The car is now off for a rolling road tune later this week and then back home, just in time for the imminent arrival of some better weather I hope!
