I have got a very good hint for you to keeping the nice old Engine in good shape with todays ultra dry eco fuels: Use 1:100 API TC two stroke oil / fuel mix as regular driving fuel, that keeps the old fuel-system gaskets, rubber parts, alloy parts etc... and cast iron metal surfaces of those vintage engines in excellent shape...and it also lubricates the valves and upper piston regions. Most Porsche vintage owners in Germany do so :) Also keeps carbs and tank clean and rustfree
wow, thats a good idea to do with the intake setup....cuase the stock fuel injection system on this car is GARBAGE...i had one, and it ran like shit, and i had no idea how to work on anything on it, cuase it was the wierest setup i have ever seen on a gas engine. it had some thing that looked like a diesel fuel system on it. there was like a fuel distrubutor on the airbox?!?!? ugh it blew my mind...
it's called K-Jetronic. it's almost bulletproof because there's no electrical components. it's pretty useless if you're gonna tune the car, but on stock it's pretty good. it does the job for a pretty long time if you take care of the car.
that would make sense considering the wierd setup it had. no wonder theres no check engine light...nothings really computer controlled. anyway, what i ment by garbage was the lack of performance, my audi always ran, it just seemed like the whole induction system sucked, it would take forever for the engine to wind up even in neutral....maybe the engine has a huge ass flywheel or somehting, cuase it seems almost the same with carbs
well, the flywheel isn't a 3 kg, but if your system is in order it shouldn't be any difficulty to rev your engine. of course it's not as fast as an motorcycle-engine, but it shouldn't be too slow. the carbs is doing a great job, but it seems like they've got some adjustments left ;)
how stupid..

When the stock CIS fuel injection is good to 400 horsepower, I'm not sure of the point of carbs.

Since you got rid of the K-jetronic fuel injection, what type of fuel management are you running now?

Just like some older Volkswagen Golf GTI's, they also had fuel hoses from some unit to the engine!
