Fiat 500 - Video tutorial

Model: Fiat 500 Epoca - Years 1957-1975
Part: Checks and maintenance
Operation: How to adjust the idle on a Fiat 500

Does our car grumble and tend to shut down? Do we want to do the necessary maintenance on our own? Let's see in this video how to adjust the idle on a Fiat 500 (old model). We start the car with a special key (it is better to do this operation in two), we open the bonnet located in the rear of the car: with one hand we stretch the accelerator rod (giving small accelerations) and with a screwdriver we adjust the minimum of engine revolutions. As soon as the engine stabilizes, let's stop with the adjustment. At the end of the adjustment, let's go and close the rear hood of the engine.
