Re: New 912 Owner - Previously a 993 Owner

Hello All, Yes that is my car and I’m very sad to be selling so soon but needs must. I hope that one day, when space and wife permits, I’ll be back! On a side note, Greatworth Classics up in Banbury recently refurbed the Solex carbs - what a difference! Definitely recommend if yours are due a refres...

Re: New 912 Owner - Previously a 993 Owner

Hi Nick Welcome to the forum You have done no harm with the high octane fuel. Sound to me like you need a tune up, (valve clearance, timing, and carb balancing). The trick to starting when warm is to put you foot on the accelerator flat to the floor. Get yourself a copy of the orange book for all t...
