Re: S1 Gearbox 4 speed problem - Third gear jump
The long gear shift lever "falling out" of gear in third is not uncommon. The lever has quite some weight in the end, and pulls it out of gear. Something to check is the big bolt/nut that fixes the lever under the protection rubber boot in the cabin. It is a bolt with self locking nut. The...

Re: '68 Fulvia Solex tuning / adjustment?
Small correction in the long first message: "Start on the next idle screw, doing the same, and turning the RPM down again, and so on till the last." should read : Start on the next MIXTURE screw, doing the same, and turning the RPM down again, and so on till the last.

Re: '68 Fulvia Solex tuning / adjustment?
oh, I forget. It is much harder to tune the C.35 carbs with the air filter off. The air filter is made to be in tune with the carbs. Put the air filter on when trying to tune the carbs.

Re: '68 Fulvia Solex tuning / adjustment?
Hi. That's a pretty hard question to answer. First: it is almost pointless to tune the carbs it the valve and ignition timing aren't set correctly, and the ignition is not in perfect condition. That said, the tuning of the carbs is pretty complicated. In all, there are 10 setting screws. But assumin...

Re: Solid State VR
OK, I have been doing some research. The version with the different form factor (the one Huib talks about) apparently has become quite more expensive. and is now practically as expensive as the one that has the same form factor as the original VR. The number you gave is the one with the same form fa...

Re: Solid State VR
There are actually TWO electronic VR versions that you can use (for dynamo). One is the version that Huib talked about. It has the advantage being cheaper, but has a different form factor than the original, and has the potential problem of the having the (unfused) main voltage on the outer case. The...

Re: intermittent misfire
I understand it is S1 Fulvia with a dynamo. I would highly recommend replacing the electro-mechanical VR with an electronic equivalent. The old VR with the relais that keep going on and off at high rate are a bit of a danger: if one gets stuck, you may burn out your dynamo or even have the battery e...

Re: Tracing back the car history
Can you first try to give the chassis number (called VIN by some) and the maybe also the engine number? The chassis number is in the upper gutter for the engine bay bonnet, right hand side of the car. Lift the bonnet up, and have a look in the gutter, top side, right side of the car. The number is i...
