Check the timing, improper would cause loss of power and relate to heating. make sure you do not have a brake dragging. Coils (spark generator) often quit when they get hot if going bad. sometimes you can feel if it is heating up excessively by touching it after it is on for awhile. check coolant, oil, and compression for leakage or mixing= head gasket problem.

SOURCE: Does a heat sheild of some type go on the starter

Sounds like the starter is going bad.1) You can fabricate a shield yourself out of tin or thin sheet metal. Make sure you do not come in contact with the positive wire going to the starter when installing. 2) you can replace the starter -recommended- then add a shield to prolong the life of your new starter.

SOURCE: 94 Opel kadett 1.6 single injector. Petrol does

Check the injector circuit. Here's how injectors usually work: when key is on, they have live power available to them. Key on, the circuit is turned on, so power passes through a fuse to the injector on the power wire. (Check the fuse- it's under the hood, most likely.)
To make the injector "pulse" or spray fuel out, the engine computer will internally ground the circuit for a split second. The injector has a power wire to it from that fuse. Then the ground wire at the injector goes into the computer.

If you have a test light, you can test the circuit. First, clip a test light ground lead to negative battery post. With key on, and the injector connector unplugged, check for battery voltage on the power wire. One of the wires should have voltage and will light up the test light. Now, move your test light lead to the battery POSITIVE post. Have a helper be cranking the engine over while you probe the ground wire-the one that did not light up the test light. If the injector circuit ground is good, the test light will now be blinking. (You are putting voltage into the ground wire to the computer, to check if it is properly grounding the circuit. Every time the light blinks, the computer has grounded the circuit.)
If the circuit passes both tests (key on, steady test light on power wire; engine cranking, blinking light on ground wire), then the injector circuit is good. The injector should be pulsing when it is connected and the engine is cranking. If no gas is coming out of the injector, could be that fuel is blocked somewhere (filter?) from reaching the injector, or it could be a shorted injector. Someone with a volt-ohm meter should check the resistance across the injector terminals and compare with manufacturers' specifications. This will determine if the injector is bad.

What voltage must i get on my opel kadett float level just before it goes to the tank at the back opel kadett 13h 1986 model

fuel level sensor (yes is float)
most of these sensor, well not open here.
there are 2 or 3 wires.
the meters had then a thermal meters.
fuse >>keyon>>>> meter in, meter out >>> sender >>gnd.
if sender is bad voltage to hot pin is 12vdc.key on.
if less it is good like 6v.
my old 91 car had 120 ohms empty and 3 ohms full.
30ohms 1./2 full sender pot.,
so gas full is near 0v. or 1v.
the meter has shut inside,

not opel but old and generic answers.
fuel-undefined-undefined-0.jpg fails: ?? all answers connected !
fuse blown
meter bad rare
sensor bad common 12vdc on its pin is bad
ground bad super common 12v on this pin ground is bad.
about 6 volts or less is common and good. on hot pin

for truth buy the service manual , like we do.

Opel kadette repairs

Check the tank vent hoses on the filler pipe in the wheel arch, if the show hair cracks replace the lot up and down the tank, very common problem with the Kadett.
