Nick, I had the same problem, only mine was with Webers. It turned out to be the idle jets, which weren't quite large enough - just 0.05mm too small in the end. Like you said it could be the accelerator pump jets, but once you're off and running it's usually down to the idle jets and then mains once...

Just wanted to add my thanks to Rick for organising the line-up. Was a great day in spite of the grim weather. Nice to meet some fellow 912ers, and took away a nice bonus keyring and award! My battery nearly cooked itself on the way back, but all part of the fun. 16 912's huh, let's hope we can keep...

Hi Jon, got the car back now and running much better. I'm planning on going to CATC and happy to join you from Leamington.

6am does seem extreme for a Sunday mind!

Also haven't had tickets or cheque cashed.

Nice work automan, the car looks fantastic and I'm amazed at the results in such little time.

Picking my car up from Revival cars in Staines tomorrow and might head over to the Volksworld Show afterwards, will keep an eye out for your car if I make it.

I have a painted dash on my Bahama Yellow '67. From closer inspection of some older photos I was given when i bought the car, it did have a black dash originally. Obviously the previous owner stripped the black to reveal the exterior colour. I much prefer the body colour dash on my particular car. h...

I'm hoping to make it to Action this weekend, probably just for a day. Not sure whether it'll be Saturday or Sunday yet.

Will be in the 912 now that I've finally got it up and running again after a long spell stuck in my garage!

I'll keep my eye out for the other Porsches around Santa Pod.

Front Shocks/Insert Help

Please excuse my naivety on this one. I need to get new inserts for my 1967 912, and don't want to purchase the complete strut unless there's no other way. I've only had the car 4 months and need to know if there's a way of identifying between the Boge/Bilstein strut without taking it apart so that ...

Many congratulations Matt. Good to see pics of your new motor at last, I saw that you'd bought a new one after I took the old one off you. I've been having fun in the car so far and treating it very well...I think. Your Dad's car is very nice by the way. Well done on managing to acquire another Pors...

Had a good day on Sunday, sounded like Saturday was a bit messy. Good to meet a couple of you, and great to see some racing.

My car is the Bahama Yellow 912 in the pics above by the way. Sorry I didn't catch you Timo, at another meet most likely.

Well done to Bootsy with the award.

Not sure if I'll be there for the...

Hi, yes it was me in the focus car park, Leamington.

Had a great weekend in the car, the smile is yet to leave my face.

I'll see if I can make the forthcoming meets, it would be great to get some expert eyes cast over the car.
