Fiat 500 - Video tutorial

Model: Fiat 500 Epoca - Years 1957-1975
Part: Carburetor
Operation: How to restore the carburetor of a Fiat 500

Do we want to give life to the carburetor of a Fiat 500? Let's see in this video how to refurbish a carburetor of a vintage car. After having disassembled the carburetor (certainly in very bad conditions), wash it thoroughly with a brush and petrol (dissolves all residues of dirt and grease) in a container. After having thoroughly cleaned it from oily residues, let's sand it with a quartz sandblaster in order to eliminate traces of rust and black. Once the sandblasting process is finished, we check the correct assembly of the carburetor with all its parts. Finally we can mount the piece on our vintage car.

Handbrake adjustment on Ford Ecosport

First remove the plastic profile at the base of the gear lever. To do this, slightly widen the side edges and carefully lift it to release it. There is no need to remove it completely, just move it forward to avoid bother. Now remove the plastic center console around the handbrake by first working from the rear to release it and lifting it until the brake lever passes. Also in this case it is not necessary to remove it completely but, paying attention to the connected cables, it can be stowed in front of the passenger seat. At this point we notice that at the base of the handbrake lever, on the front, we find a nut. By acting on it, with a 10 wrench, we can adjust the brake force, increasing it by turning the nut clockwise, or decreasing it by turning it counterclockwise. Once adjusted, the center console can be repositioned first, pressing lightly to engage it, and then the profile of the gearbox base.
