Ok.. Well I was thinking of selling my 914 (recently acquired) in favor of a motorcycle.. but I went on a date the other night with a great woman that mentioned to me that she liked old Porsches. *smile*
It runs really rough right now. I'm sure it could really use a rebuild.. but I'm just going to try and get what I can out of it before I get it rebuilt. The guy I bought it from
appeared to know what he was talking about.
I found Dave Darling's hose diagram and I decided to dive in and make sure everything was hooked up the way it should be.
Some questions.
What is the flashback valve? I can't seem to find it! There is a screw hole or two in the location where it looks like it should be..
On the far top left side of this picture, where are the two green hoses going?
When the car is running, exhaust seems to be coming out of two of the hoses. One is the hole with the green hose coming out of it on the lower-right hand corner of this picture, and the other is on the opposite side of the engine (upper left).. both are coming out from the bottom, not from a valve of some sort. (I hope you can get what I'm saying here..)
After the car is started, it will stall until it runs for about 10 minutes. The auxiliary air regulator appears to be sucking in air while the car is cold, so I don't think that's the problem. Any other quick things I can check?
Thank you all for your help.. Hopefully, I'll get this thing running well enough to not be embarassed to show up at a Bay Area 914 gathering!
