What is the red warning light in my petrol gauge on my '69 912?

two 12's in front and two 11's behind.

The defect was found in the mirror, bathroom mirror that is. I had assembled the pre-emulsifiers 180 degrees the wrong way and that lead to that the main circuits in the carbs were not working at all. Now to the test drive!

Allrighty then, Engine is back together in one piece, and it's also running! But...there always... It does not rev very well under load! Actually it stalls if throttle is pushed to the floor rapidly. But it pulls up the revs with the gear on neutral, when throttle is pushed moderately. Spark is good...

Yes the case was dimensionally OK from main bearing housing.

OK, engine rebuild continues. My so called 'friend', who was supposed to fix the busted dowel pin holes on the crank and the flywheel, not only lost them, but lost my nearly new heads from a 'low hour' industrial engine too! Well he got some heads to replace the ones but crank and flywheel is still ...

KK to the rescue!

Seems to be one dollar part ;o)

Hi, where could I get new soft iron gasket, which goes in between the flywheel and the crank? What is the purpose for this gasket? Does it seal the tappets? I would need it quick and would like to get 4-5 pcs. at once.

Mine is US export and I think that the lists are just not absolete. They altered the database, so I'm now able to enter my cars details.

And this makes my 912 the last Karmann body known.

I tried, but there might be a mistake in '69 Karmann bodied VINs, as I'm getting an error message that my cars VIN is not a 912 VIN. It's a couple of numbers over that 129023450, which is stated to be the biggest?

These might fit better over the grease cap than 3-sprong Fuchs caps.

That's quite comprehensive, but I wonder why they don't have 912, 924 or 944 introduced there?

That pic reminds me about the Lego Bionicle movie my son is watching right at moment I'm writing this. And by coincidense, I just read the article about the siblings restoration on the Classic Porsche magazine by CHP in the middle of last night.

Atleast it will not be very easy. Later (than 30hp) VW crank is longer than porsche crank so distance between cylinders are different. So I guess this would lead to many problems with fitting, push rods etc.
