    GTO 56343 as provided by Joe Sackey Classics to Ferrari North America for it's launch of the 599 GTO at Pebble Beach some years ago, this is one of my favorite GTOs, immaculate! Even the front trunk lid fits perfectly.

    How do I go about adjusting the tickover down a bit on my 288? Is this something I can do myself? Any tips / things to watch out for?

    Whats the recommended tickover? I'm sure it used to be about 1,000 but I sent it for its MoT recently and it seems to have come back with a tickover of 1,400. Although this could be a coincidence.

    Any guidance greatly appreciated

    Sounds like a vacuum leak to me. We recently solved a similar problem on 56653.

    Various. Depending on what is most convenient. Joe Macari is closest for a small job. Its not something that is easy to do myself? Guess its not just turning a screw then?

    Hi,
    It shouldn't jump that high from 1000 rpm to 1400rpm unless something has changed - take it down to Joe Macaris and get them to check for a vacuum leak, check all the pipes around the inlet manifold - but it could be several things, may be to do with the throttle linkage or cable - very hard to diagnose unless you are in the engine bay. There is a mechanic there called Martin Stroud, he has worked on many GTO's, he is very knowledgeable and helpful.
    cheers Mark

    A recent Instagram post from Joe Macari. Of course an owner can do as he wishes with his property, but this saddens me. The car came Rosso Corsa from the factory and it should remain that way.
