How to Clean the Carburettor on a Classic Fiat 500?

Model: Fiat 500 Epoca - Years 1957-1975
Part: Carburetor

To clean the carburettor on a classic Fiat 500, you need to completely disassemble the part, removing it from its housing within the engine bay. Once the carburettor is removed, loosen the bolts securing the manifold and remove it along with the corresponding gasket. This will expose the throttle valve, which must also be removed by unscrewing its bolts; by disassembling all the other components, you can clean them individually. Finally, all parts must be reassembled, placing the carburettor back into its housing.
