Yes I totally agree with you there Clay,
Magneti Marelli, Carello & Veglia, names that weaken the knees of the most hardened Lucas oppressed repairer.
What Ferrari’s do you have?
I don't own any Ferraris. I was a professional mechanic for many years, and I worked on them for deep pocketed customers.
Fixed a 308 that ran great, but it had to be push started because it would not crank. It had been to 6 different shops before me. I spent about 3 hours (billed to the customer) translating a hand drawn Italian wiring diagram. Only to find it didn't really match the car.
So I spent another two days digging into the wiring harness. Seems the wire for the start circuit changed color and gauge 6 times between the ignition switch and the starter, and it had a cold solder joint in the middle. I ran a new wire from the switch to the starter, and it never failed again.
Damn owner was so impressed he had me do the full maintenance procedure, which included the timing belt. He had me replace the clutch while the engine was out too......
I hated that car. But the engine sounded soooo nice during the test drives.
