[VintageLambo] Re: My Jarama quit running, any ideas?

Hi Steve, and welcome!You"re at the right place, our team of experts will get you back on the road before you know it.;^D Just a general comment (it"s hard to add anything to "fuel" and "ignition").I"ve found with my 400gt that what you experienced is typical of Lambo cylinders shutting down for one reason or another.With 12 to work with, it"s usually a gradual loss of power, just as you described it, rather than the motor suddenly shutting down.ie: I"m guessing you didn"t damage anything mechanical, but rather that the cylinders stopped working one by one.My 400 runs great with one coil wire pulled...It doesn"t have any power, but it runs great. It sounds to me like you are ready for a complete tuneup, including the rebuilding of the webers and adjusting of the valves and chains. As the saying goes, a chain is only as strong as its weakest link, and these cars need to be tuned up properly from time to time, and usually are not because of the cost or time involved. Anyway, I"m curious to know more about your new Jarama.What did the previous owner do to the car?Do you have receipts?Any tuneups in its past?Any engine work? Also, do you do your own work or do you rely on a mechanic?Either way, Jack has written an excellent engine manual which you can download from the Files area to the left.It"s important to understand the superb engine that we all share in common. I think you"ll be ok with this one.Just hang in there and go through all the steps.Sound like pretty typical Lambo stuff to me. All the best, Fred 67 400GT 2+2
