I had a leak from my carburetor (major, bad style) and it started better than when it doesn't leak O_O

Try just getting a new starter (OEM) from a junkyard or something. If nothing else, if you have access to another seven, try putting your starter in THAT one, and see if it works. Of course, that other seven has to be in good, running condition

If he keeps saying fuel is leaking from the carb, majorly as he said, then all the batteries and starters in the world won't get that damn thing started. You need to get the carb problem in order before you drive it again. Leaking lots of fuel from the carb is a major fire hazard. geesh......
