Fire up - cold start of a Ferrari 512 Berlinetta Boxer

[Broncofivepointslow]

I know this seems excessive but every video I see of these they rev the piss out of it like this on a cold start and then bam it's running perfect. Maybe these cars like it rough?

[SenesX]

The exhaust was already smoking. Not a genuine cold start.

almost like diesel truck :D

[dan8852]

Wow, it that a diesel? lol



[RFreigeldorff]

caaaaaaaareful.......

I own such cars (not this one in particular, although I'm tempted...)....to give you a hint: when you haven't run them for months - disconnect the spark plugs and run the starter on battery only. this builds up at least a modicum of oil lubrication (oil pressure builds up on turning the engine only). thats key with our italian friends - let the thing run about without firing up for 30s. that is, if u don't kill the starter that way (killed it 2 time on my stratos...)

[tigerbaiter1]

you'll wreck it if you treat it like that

[Bonavil1]

Mi ez a "kolbászfüstölő"?

[Logjam5]

Maybe it would be better if you warmed it, before gunning it?

[ecip]

Give a break after trying to start for 20 seconds. you will burn the starter...

[U3erpru7ser]

That thing needs a tune-up

[GasStationChili]

You must've put regular gas in that thing....

[SupercarSlideshows]

man from 0:00 - 0:50 my ears cried :( but the secound 50 seconds are worth it

[DoriFord]

ah! so you have to rev it while starting because there is oil in the cylinders until it goes out?

well, it's better than subaru then, hehe...

[kinkyshae]

Looks/sounds like one of your cylinders arnt firing

[offitcock]

absolutly love the second part of your video discription! the car aint half bad either

[Smylyn2jz]

Its good to see people that know about their cars and take pride in them at the same time don't just let them sit in the garage for their whole existence. Thanks for posting the video :)

[MisterFrodon]

Thanks to Kyoto

[smecherucristi]

wtf?

[coldwarmotors]

Great! Probably one of the best cold start videos. Thanks for posting it. Grouchy 12-cylinder, carburetted Italian cars are the best. "Bravo" to the battery, also!

[cry2love]

0:00 - 0:47 If you do not pay attention to the fact that this is a car, it seems that she got sick and sneezes, and it's rushes you to say - "Bless you dear!"))

[Noname1000r]

ferrari haha



[cry2love]

@Noname1000r Very smart comment, your bicycle will appreciate you for it)

[splinterman2448]

Looooooool....il never feel bad when my BMW takes a few seconds to turn over. That was hard to listen to

[details78]

you prick........that was painful

[MrEvanbean]

oops fuck threw a rod -P

[xbowracing]

0:01 it even smokes before its getting started... ;-)

[VooDooXII]

@xbowracing

What's the reason for that?

[xbowracing]

@VooDooXII

Maybe this wasn't the first attempt to start it? :)

[dugong8185]

@xbowracing

Correct, I tried first, just to see how far away the engine was from starting... It really drives well, please see my new clip as well.

[pcfxer]

Valve seals are pooooched.

[nonoos153]

moteur de merde!!! lol

[steveirl]

It should start a lot easier than that, even when not driven for months, I have owned two Boxers, and never had such difficulty starting my cars once the carbs are balanced, and floats are set

[galbmw]

@steveirl this is an old italian sports car lol. they can be annoying when starting

[ROCKSOLID19]

I tried to start up my 512TR and the bloody thing won't start! The older Ferrari's, especially the flat 12's can be tempramental.

[shaner0328]

drive it in the salt then you didnt overpay for it to sit there my lawn mower can beat that car because it can move.

[Rarrin9378]

Expensive cars are always the shittiest.

[bamboali]

The car is smoking Pot

[auaiao9]

That thing is nasty.

[dugong8185]

Well, I try to drive as much as possible, but not in winter, there is too much salt on the road =now :-(. That's why there will always be some long periods in the garage. It runs perfectly when driven regularly. Just ensure the battery is fully charged!

[aj0049]

Ferrari's aren't meant to sit in a garage... they're meant to be run. that's why this bitch didn't wanna start :)

[Drew99GT]

How often do you go through starters?
