Speed Problem

Featured Replies

Hy All,

 

I have a '86 Leone, 5 spd, 1800cc, carb, 270000 Km, and my maximum speed is 140 km/h.

 

This is NORMAL?

I wait for any sugestion.

 

Sorry my english.

 

Thank you.

Mine does 110km/h in 2nd. Thats the max speed limit in Australia so it couldn't tell you how far past 140km/ it would go. But i would think faster then that, though the autos do go faster then the manuals, they just take longer to get there.

I do not have a carbureted model, but I would think that it should have a slightly higher maximum speed, perhaps 150-155Km/H.

 

Please check that your Leone's ignition parts are working properly, especially your sparkplugs (ignitors???) and their high-voltage wires. Proper ignition timing and camshaft drive belts (timing belts) also need to be properly aligned. Also check that your tires have the proper air pressure.

 

Your English is much better than my... Italian, correct??? Anyone who criticizes you for speaking/writing your second language less well than they speak their native language is a fool.

 

Ciao! :)
