Re: 365 GT 2 + 2 restoration

Hi

A question for all the folks driving a vintage Ferrari in
California or other such warm climates.

Have you faced a problem of the coils overheating and consequently the car shutting down?

How does one fix this?

Re: 365 GT 2 + 2 restoration

Thanks for the feedback

Could you give me a couple of names where i could get
The coil over update?

And what about the self levelling unit?

Once the coil over update installed just disconnect it?

Rebuilding them?

Thanks

Re: 365 GT 2 + 2 restoration

Well its stopped pouring but still heavily overcast. We’ve waited so many many years so we thought we may as well wait just a wee bit longer for the sun to come out. While we wait the thought is to start collecting parts required for a front and rear suspension job Based on the vast experience in th...

Re: 365 GT 2 + 2 restoration

An update We spoke to Mike Pierce who pointed out what we were doing wrong. We were adjusting the idle using the screw On the lever that connects all three carbs. This was keeping the throttle plates open resulting in fuel pouring in. He asked us to keep this screw closed till it was only just touch...

Re: 365 GT 2 + 2 restoration

Hi Tom There is no doubt that the car is running rich Forget the pop from the carb If you stand behind the car your eyes feel they are going to burn right out of your sockets!

Re: 365 GT 2 + 2 restoration

I've not touched the original float level settings as we had pulled the tops off and found the fuel level satisfactory . Fuel is not overflowing into the intake manifold as can be seen from top of the carbs . Fuel is initially supplied with electric fuel pump . Once the car starts , I switch off the...
