If it doesn't then this is a very expensive and impractical paperweight! Having sorted the fuel issues and water problems in previous Ferrari Episodes (listed below), in this episode I go tackle all of the reasons why it might not start... and then try to start it!! Edd China's Workshop Diaries Ep 83 - Will Our 1978 Ferrari 308 GT4 Start?! For parts for your Ferrari, browse here:- https://www.superformance.co.uk/ Starting a car engine that has been dormant for years is just like applying any normal engine maintenance with slightly higher stakes. As with all car repair, start by breaking the big diy car repair jobs into smaller manageable ones, even engine cleaning, which I'll get around to, can go on a longer list of shorter jobs.
