Hello all. First time to the board. I use one very similar for my motorcycle.
A little history. I have a 1967 912 that was my uncle since '69'. 42000 original miles. The best of my knowledge, nothing has been replaced except for the exhaust. Sits in my garage since the day he past away and I'm going to try to carry on his love for cars and bikes.
I've neglected driving it much this past year due to getting back into riding. I know that it's not good to let a vehicle sit but I do run it every month at least once.
I'm not a mechanic, but I do have a brain and can work with my hands. I've done all the work on my bike so I'm not a complete goof, but I know that this car requires a person to know 912's to get it running it correctly.
My thing is, I haven't found someone local that I can take it and get good work done. A year and a half ago, I took it to get one of the carbs reworked, it ran ok but then acted up shortly after.
So if anyone knows of where a good shop is (central PA) let me know.
Now, alittle help. This past weekend I took it out of the garage. Got it started after probably flooding the hell out of it. When started, the left carb seemed to be leaking. I noticed this by the wet spot under the car. Drove it around the block and there was no power and was very hard to keep it running. GAS GAS GAS was all I smelled. I felt around and the back of the carb seemed very wet.
So is there something "I" could do to the carbs or is the the job of a trained professional. I see the carb kits in Tweeks catalog and feel like trying it but I'm just not sure.
Any advise would be great. Thanks
