Points to check on a Duetto.

 

1. Front wings/fenders. There should be inner aluminum splash guards.
2. The A-pillars and door hinges.
3. The sills, both inner, outer and the middle sills are prune to rust. Lift the rubber mats and inspect.
4. The doors, the lower frame should be clean, use your fingers to feel any bubbles or rust.
5. Place the Duetto on a lift and check the floors, both under and from the interior. Lift the rubber mats.
6. Rear wheel panels, especially the lower rear section which are exposed to blasting.
7. The boot lid. The rear part is vulnerable if the ventilation holes are not covered with plugs. The rear section is still available at most vendors.
8. The carbs and the mounts. Rough idle is often due to defective rubber mounts between carbs and intake.
9. The Hardy rubber or dough-nut and the U-joints. If it feels like a rubber hammer when taking of it is the rubber support. If the sound is like a hammer on steep, it is likely to be the U-joints.
10. Gearbox and syncro rings. The 2nd gear is often bad. New material in syncro rings will last a life time.
11. Oil pressure should be accurate. See the information about oil, please.
12. Is the engine clean and the fluids fresh?
