My Fiat 126 de ville car has calved on me after a few days! There was no problem driving her up until last night. To start her, you do it with the Choke and separate Starter levers on the floor. She seemed to be labouring a bit and when I tried there is just no life when you pull the lever up? Power from battery and everything is fine, just no life or turning over of engine! Im a novice to this, waiting on my Haynes manual lol! Can anyone suggest what the problem is!!?

Hows it going Dave!
Thanks for replying! She was ok all along. I got her seen to, but think in majority it was myself! I just bought her new, and because shes so small and 28 yr old, I wasnt applying enough force when pulling the starter lever up- In case I broke it! No harm done. He oiled the starter and tightened it up anyway. These wee things you have to learn. Ive just had her serviced and running like a dream- touch wood! When I was unsure, I was starting her in second gear. No probs there lol!
Have got my Haynes manual now, so will have to go back to school and learn a bit!

Cheers.

Alan
