Hi Tom, my GTE #3631 is a Series II and to my understanding should have the earlier Version that Stucks on the notch of the body. Looking at it made me understand why the factory changed the design - it is likely that the first version did not seal the trunk well enough. However, I decided to prefer...

Thank you!

Hi Tom, after checking the whole system again it seems that there was a little metal chip in the nozzle that caused the difference between the left and the right bench. Although there are 2 fuel filters we found several little metal chips in the chamber which probably come from the new fuel hoses. I...

I have a question about the routing of the front brake lines. In the owner’s manual photo, the line is shown passing through the steel bracket on the frame. On my Series II GTE, however, there is a second bracket on the rear side of the same cross member, and we routed the brake line through that on...

Hi Andrew,

I have my temperature gauge and sensor brought to a workshop in Modena and they are closed until next week. Without the sensor I can’t refill the cooling fluid to start the engine. It will take some weeks, but I will report here as soon as we can do the testing.

Best regards, Martin

Thank you for the hint. The engine is brand new from complete overhaul. Right now the workshop proceeds the 1.000km service, fastening the heads, checking ignition and valves. I could not say that I felt anything from the poor mixture at the left bank. The engine ran properly the first 850km. We jus...

Hello Tom, Yes we tested with a gas analyzer at 3.000 rpm where only the main jet works. So far we only tested at the exhaust pipe rear end, but will soon test at the front pipes after the exhaust manifold with Lambda sensors where you have 3 cylinders at one pipe. This will avoid wrong reading due ...

My GTE has 6 main jets size 145 - the same jets at both benches. However, the left bench runs with poor mixture. I could not find a reason for this - everything seems clean and o.k. Does anybody run left and right bench with different sized main jets? Is it appropriate to use different sized jets at...

I have balanced the carburetors of my GTE and the exhaust gas analysis shows that the left bank is running too lean. I suspect that the main jet (number 26 in the attached exploded diagram) is too small. Can anyone share which size of main jets they are using on their GTE with Weber DCS 36?

Hello Tom,

#3631 has lights on both sides in the engine bay and I do not recall having seen a GTE with just one. I assume it is missing in your car.

Best wishes , Martin

Forgot to ask: diameter is 8mm, right?

Thank you very much for your help Ed, with this template I will have the pliers engraved now.

Have a great day!

Hi Ed, I do not think it is the same for the Fispa filter/regulator and for the steering box, The lead tag that Parker Hall has on display on their website (https://kilimanjarodesigns.com/product/73a-reproduction-lead-z-f-steering-gearbox-seal/) shows the letters Fispa, but the one that I ordered fr...
