like to see the engine rebuild of the one you took out, not much on that on line plus-plugs it fits in the garage Tks
Not a bad idea!
Something to look at: The fuel lines running to the injectors tend to rot and crack and have been known to leak and cause an engine fire. Midwest Bayless sells a kit for this repair. Also, for priming the system, with the air cleaner removed, you can run the pump by just reaching inside the airflow meter and pushing the flap open
Great content on your channel. I’d definitely watch you work on an 850 sport coupe having one myself. Not sure if you have them in the US though. Alternatively an Alfa 105 series.
Ok, I'm commenting before watching: the X1/9 heating system has two steel tubes running from the back to the front, on top of the two steel tubes that carry coolant to and from the radiator. Once you have the valve working, the corroded tubes will eventually fail and fill the cockpit with steam!
Oh boy does that sound fun!
I kinda think of you as a Fiat-fixer, so I’d like to see you do another one. Did you get 850 Sport Coupes in the US? If so, that’d be a good one to do a series on. PS: how are your X1/9’s brakes going? I’d be interested to see how they handle some sustained, spirited driving and whether the rears are in balance with the upgraded fronts. I fitted the same front brakes as you and found that my rears became almost totally ineffectual.
There is a local track I could go to. Worth a shot!
That exhaust sounds horrible, the car looks good though.
Well, at certain points I like it, but sometimes it’s too much.
Get a new gas tank and replace the filters again.
Nobody has a gas tank. I’ve been looking! So I was forced to clean mine. It’s definitely on my list to replace them when they are back in stock.
maybe try using a fuel tank sealer kit? I just did it on a motorcycle tank and it worked well. I really think you'll need to do something to avoid having to replace filters frequently@@GarageTimeTV
@@gldstone worth a shot!
Midwest Bayless currently has new tanks in stock@@GarageTimeTV
Make sure that tank is 100 clean. Also a bogging issue can be a dead spot on the air flow meter ishould vary resistance evenly across ithe range when you open the vane
take it to a real mechanic
