Re: More on the '60 FI problems
Are you referring to the area below the cam lobes? Both of my other 914 dists. have this "stop" under the points cam lobes which limits the downward vertical movement. Again, the downward movement is great enough to allow the advance weights to "clear" the breaker cam.
If you're referring to the cam grind, then what should I do---it's advertized as the 097. Do I get another cam? Do I somehow "tweak" the engine, valve lash, timing, FI unit to "fit" this cam?
Idles nicely at 850, but I bumped it to 900 once the engine began stalling once hot.
Have checked and re-checked valve lash ---currently 12/18 (hot and cold)--feeler gauge.
Initial timing set at 16 advanced---total at 3,000 rpm is 34 advanced. Use both timing light and vacuum gauge when setting timing.
On another note which may be a clue, when adjusting the fast idle (big screw), there is almost no change in idle speed.
Up til lately, all of the adjustments were made without the air cleaner installed. Now that the air cleaner is installed, the problem is worse. Not enough air flow?
