Only starts when being pulled...
Hey I have a problem starting my recently purchased 914. It's a 2.0L with high comp pistons and weber 44s. It cranks but won't start... kinda like it's flooded. I had a friend pull me with his SUV this weekend and it started when popping the clutch in 2nd but would not stay lit. It would stay on as long as I was being pulled but would die as soon as we came to a stop or I tried mashing the excellerator. Doesn't this indicated a fuel problem? What are some things to check first? BTW, it was bought longdistance with no PPI because I will be doing a conversion and the body had been restored (2.0L to be sold). However it was built for SCCA racing and I was assured the engine ran stong but leaks oil - It did sound healthy when being pulled. Any suggestions?
