How to Restore the Carburettor of a Fiat 500

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

Want to bring the carburettor of a Fiat 500 back to life? Let's see how to renew a carburettor from a classic car in this video. After removing the carburettor (likely in poor condition), clean it thoroughly with a brush and petrol (which dissolves all dirt and grease) in a container. After cleaning off oily residues, sandblast it with a quartz sandblaster to eliminate traces of rust and black. Once the sandblasting process is complete, check the correct assembly of the carburettor with all its parts. Finally, you can mount the piece onto your classic vehicle.
