Since she stopped running right... :(

She hasn't moved an inch since that last backfire incident. Hasn't been touched or cleaned either. That makes me sad. She can start up and run for about 15 minutes, but once the engine gets to temperature, it sputters out.

It seems like it's been ages, spiders which I despise are all over the car; almost cocooning it in webs(over exaggeration). Time to try and wash and wax after class.

Choke plate stuck? (I'm assuming its carbed, I don't know porsches)

No carbs. CIS, continuous injection system. Very complex and a pain to work with. I'd rather have carbs now. This would've never happened with carbs.

Can you retrofit carbs?

They make kits for them. But it's hella expensive. But it's as expensive as repairing and maintaining the CIS. I might as well ask my dad to consider carbs

A quick google search and I came across the removal of the warm up regulator (wur). It is supposed to be an easy procedure and might be related to what is going wrong.

Maybe. I'll make another post documenting the series of problems over the last month.

Ah I see

The carbs themselves aren't that expensive. My dad finds them cheap on eBay. But the conversion kit you're probably stuck paying a high fee for.

In the four digits. -_-

And that's without labor work.

WTF?

My dad got a fully rebuilt engine for his '69 911 for less than that!

Well here, lemme do another search right quick.

Choke? Boiling fuel?

Here are some PMO carbs

that's pricey!

my dad likes the stock ones. he played around with a set of webbers and said they were too fussy

Does have a choke for the magical 7th injector. When the car is cold, it's used to warm it up faster.

K-Roll-PorscheTamer > Manuél Ferrari 07/07/2014 at 18:59

Since the car is summer only it'd be tuned to be used for the season and nothing else. Not sure what's best here.

Bandit > K-Roll-PorscheTamer 07/07/2014 at 19:02

Wow... 7 injectors on a 6 cyl car. Hopefully you get it sorted.

K-Roll-PorscheTamer > Bandit 07/07/2014 at 19:04

It's a warm-up injector that gives the car more gas when the choke is pulled up.

The webbers are just hard to get running right period. but once they are set correctly they do give you moar power.

What year is this car again?

1974

I see, I see.

So that must have been one of the earliest fuel injected cars.

There has got to be a cheaper way to revert it to the stock carbs from the cars made just before it.

The primitive fuel injection systems are such a pain!

It is the earliest example of CIS. -_-

Idea - find a Carrera RS 2.7 engine for ze car!

Get me over there and I will fix her in a week.

K-Roll-PorscheTamer > Manuél Ferrari 07/07/2014 at 21:32

Hell, go find me an SC 3.0L or 3.2L engine!

K-Roll-PorscheTamer > Vince-The Roadside Mechanic 07/07/2014 at 21:34

Nah doge, dis shits a many bitch to fix.

I can do it.

K-Roll-PorscheTamer > Vince-The Roadside Mechanic 07/07/2014 at 21:49

Tis some very complicated shit and you'd have to drop the engine, which cannot be done at my house. Maybe the CIS just needs some tuning?

I like a challenge. I can rebuild it to make 300 HP.

K-Roll-PorscheTamer > Vince-The Roadside Mechanic 07/07/2014 at 21:59

It's mechanically imposiburu to get 300hp out of the 2.7L engine.

That works too!!

K-Roll-PorscheTamer > Manuél Ferrari 07/07/2014 at 22:23

But that's expensive too! :(

maybe someone will sell one for cheap!

keep your eyes peeled

K-Roll-PorscheTamer > Manuél Ferrari 07/07/2014 at 22:37

I reckon it'd be as much as a carb setup

Manuél Ferrari > K-Roll-PorscheTamer 07/07/2014 at 22:56

yes but it would be a whole engine!

Yes but in what condition though..

That'd be awesome, but then there'd be the problem of keeping the current engine(my dad wants the car as original as possible, like 100%) shipping the engine and the labor to have it fitted... -_-

Bore it to a 2.9 and add turbos and some other things like weber carbs and such.
