Fiat 126 Mechanical Problem Solving / Re: Bis starter motor

« Last post by mintex on November 09, 2025, 01:56:25 AM »

So turns out its not my starter motor 
My fault as i should have checked but in my defence i have been having starter problems for a bit with intermittent turning over that i thought was a starter problem but ive installed the new reconditioned one that give me the same problem only to test and find out its the main power to the starter thats the problem 

Is there a main fuse to the starter before i just run i new cable to it, ive looked  but didn't see one, cheers

Perhaps a company that reconditions starter motors can sort this out?

Fiat 126 Mechanical Problem Solving / Re: Slight Fuel Leak to Carburettor Base & Engine Dies when using accelerator

« Last post by Iffy650 on October 01, 2025, 05:31:08 AM »

Hi Chris,
I unscrewed the main jet nozzle from the bowl, cleaned it out. I set the float height and the engine runs fine now, however I'm still getting a small amount of fuel leaking into the plastic base (directly below the carb). Looks like it's coming through the gasket between the carb cover and main part of the carb.
Do you have any suggestions about how to stop that leak?
