Guys,

I thought I might start here. I am having some issues with my 1974 Dino, though you guys might have some ideas.

This is not my US GT4 that I have had for over 20 years but the one I bought that was completly restored. The seller

kindly shipped it across country to fix a bunch of issues, but like any car that was completely dissassembled, there is

always going to be some things.

Left hand main fan not coming on. Car has working AC so when ac is activated the right passenger side fan engages

but no left fan. I am pretty sure if you cross the contacts on the radiator thermostat that the left fan should engage but 

the builder used rubber covers on the contacts and to be honest unlike my &5 which has a hold directly under this 

connection it is near impossible to reach. Since the wires still look good I am hoping it could be the relay, there is one 

for each fan.

Car starts instantly and idles perfectly smooth, but when reving up or starting from idle there is a hesitation and or

stumbling. Once moving no problems. I though possibly raising the idle speed? Someone suggested possibly changing the idle jets

but it seems it is idling fine but in the next carb phase?

When turning and going over a bump at slow speed car makes a clunking noise from front pass side wheel. It sounds

exactly like my bad shock on my other GT4. Peter mentioned someone had a problem with the anti roll bar rubbing?

After my operation I will put the car up on stands and look at some of these issues but thought you guys might have some 

fresh ideas. My other car is so dialed in, I probably forgot most of the stuff I knew. Not sure Ill have another 20 years to 

sort this out but want to start. Car is beautiful and still not sure why I spent all my money on another GT4! ha

Remember I have two one is build no 409 the other 410!

Thanks for listening

Rob
