Rob:
I was surprised and excited to see your post.
Glad that it was not catastrophic and that you are back to being a 2 Ferrari Family!
Best wishes,
scottie
My garage is more like a display case than a proper workshop. Although
in fine weather I have lots of light! The time change really put a dent in
everything but being able to have both cars on wheels is a triumph for me!

What a relief to hear it wasn’t catastrophic! Also, even though you are old with bad eyesight, you’re smart enough not to light a match to see the liquid in the cylinders!
Forza!

Might have a leaky carb needle valve, or bad float. Might check
that.... Could also be responsible for that low speed stumble if too
much fuel getting in there.
Had an old Corvette once that had a leak in the float. Low speed
stumbling/drivability was the tip off.

Friends,
I apologize, I though I sent out a detailed explanation on what happened:
False Alarm. I went out to find out what was up and it wasnt coolant but
gas that flooded the cylinders. It was late, I am old, and dont have good
lights
in garage, and also I was freaking out when the engine seized. Hoping I did
not
bend a rod. The next day I took out all the plugs and ran it for 30
seconds.
Washed it then took it on a 30 mile trip. Clutch feels perfect, car stumbles
a bit on take
off, need to address that. Nice to have both twins running again!!!
I apologize but even though I have 2 GT4’s in over 25 years of ownership
and
having the other car apart or on stands at least 25 times, I never had this
experience
or anything like this.
Rob
