after much messing and changing of parts she now starts like a good un.
it turned out to be the conector on the small red wire which joins at the bottom of the solenoid. it looked as though it was in good nick but iwhen i took it off and looked at it with the aid of a proper light it was barley making contact. a new conector and a clean up and all is now ok apart from the auto choke not switching off hence the high fuel consumption.i have given up trying to get a reply from midland fiat so would be grate full if anyone out there nows which parts actually control the auto choke. thanks to all who advised me on the starting problems especially "SUMPLUG" man you should be a mechanic. cheers all.:worship:
