Hi, a small update.
Went to a mechanic i've never worked with, deals with italian classics and surprisingly just bought a X1/9...
He already started adding relays to the headlamps, did a very clean and nice job, with attention to small details just how i like it.
I consulted him regards all the problems, he suggested all of your advices 1 by 1.
He actually didn't knew that there is a ready to install gear reduction starter for the X and highly recommended that i'll buy one.
Says that to fix the old one could be cheap and could go up around 100-150$ for a complete rebuild.
Taking all of that in mind, i decided to order the gear reduction one. Once i'll come back, i'll take the car to him to this matter,
plus adding relays to the switch and probably headlamps, and complete timing and other belts.
This car was sitting in the garage for too long, i can't find my time to move on with it and of cource missing not little of mechanic knowledge.
Just the other day i took it for a ride, found out the radiator fans don't work - a burnt fuse. So something is obviously not stable in there.
Look at the fuse bypass for the light unit for e.g.
Other pic shows the ignition switch connector, can you guess what's that white loos connector? could'nt find it's female part.
When unplug the main connector, i can't see any cooked or burnt wires, seems OK.
