Title: 126 bis engine
Post by: Fiatlove on July 25, 2018, 11:47:01 AM: Hello,

My 126 bis is in need of some TLC and a new engine, the spark plugs seem to be gunking up at any chance and the fuel isnâ€™t flowing through. I have had the fuel filter changed many times and spark plugs bought a new coil and HT leads but this didnt make a difference either. The car itself misfires and then conks out (still think itâ€™s herbie). Anyone able to help?

Cheers
Chloe

The most relevant thing is the plugs "gunking" up. That would be down to an extremely worn engine or a blown head gasket. You also say "had the filter changed" which is a complete waste of time & money and also suggests you do not work on the car yourself. I am being blunt because if you are relying on a garage that are out of their depth with a specialist engine like the 126?Bis then you could end up with some big bills and be no further forward.
