Starting Fiat X1/9 Engine.

Starting my recently restored and modified Fiat X1/9 engine for the first time since we dragged it out off a field in Ohio. We added a four port intake, Duoletta carbs, lightened the flywheel, remove emmission controls and the AC, 1500 block (retains 4 speed gearbox), as well we added a euro cam along with a racing distributor and gave it some other tweaks to increase HP. We're very pleased with the results!

I'd also like to say that we have cooling on this engine and it's loud as hell in the shed but we never really kicked it above 3500 RPM. We know better than revving a brand new motor. ;)

You'll also note that at 3:50 it cuts and we let it run for about 5 - 10 minutes to break in a little.

sounds like you need to sync the carbs

[badpeach]

@x19driver For sure man. We since synced them up and it sounds LOADS better. I'll be sure to post a new video sometime soon. :)

[dmbridey]

I'd like to talk to you about your mods. Where did you get the manifold for the carbs? It looks and sounds great. I have a '80 that I'm working on. Do you have copntact information?

[badpeach]

The more experienced hands being my Dad (shown).
