Hi, I'm Italian and I live in Sardinia. With this video, you took me back more than 40 years. The Fiat 850 was my father's first car, exactly the same color as yours. I had some great memories with that car.
@@santacruzada If I remember clearly, in The Netherlands we had 850's and 600's with a Fiat badge on. But inside it would show "Seat made in Spain" Never mind, what fun they were! Had two coupes too, they were decidedly faster!
Da werden Erinnerungen wach 😊 Neben dem 850er steht ein blauer Fiat 1500. So einen hatten wir damals in den 60er Jahren als ich noch ein Kind war. Im Urlaub ging auf der Rückfahrt von Italien nach Deutscland nachts im strömenden Regen die Lichtmaschine kaputt und meine Mutter musste sich auf die Motorhaube setzen, die Scheibe von Hand wischen und mit der Taschenlampe auf die Straße leuchten um Strom zu sparen. Wir kamen dann grade noch bis ins nächste Dorf. Das war so aufregend, einfach unbezahlbar. Was für eine tolle Zeit damals.
These cars are less reliable than modern cars, but even if a breakdown occurred they allowed you to return home, and turned a misadventure into an adventure!
Ah, memories... In June 1966 we travelled by train to Turin and collected our new white 850 tax-free. We travelled all over Italy and France, and drove back to London. A year later we exported the car to Australia, and traded it in 1968 for a Fiat 124. Great fun vehicles!
@@peers1111 Yes, I don't think Australia accepted LHD in those days, changed now. And duty-free it cost only £360, whereas a basic Mini (850cc) cost £445 plus about£15 for a heater.
the same for me, i live in Florence my father"s was grey and i learnt to drive on that in 1979 when our FIAT 850 was already 10 years old very great memories for me too ..... on that car
When you got it started I wanted to stand up and cheer! The engine still sounds strong at least to me a non-mechanic. I delivered chicken and pizza for a little carry out restaurant in a rusty, blue Fiat 850 back in 1971. Good times!
My 1st car in the early eighties.bought for seventy quid with a full mot and full of holes.would nudge ninety mph down a slight decline.never was a car so mercilessly thrashed,fond memories of a misspent youth.thanks so much for posting this, it was so long ago.
Endlich mal ein Wiederbeleber, der vorher wichtigste Schritte unternimmt, dass die vielleicht laufende Maschine nach dem Start keinen Schaden mehr nimmt. Sehr gut!
My first car, purchased new in 1969. Never failed me once , including during dozens of Paris-Nice return trips at top speed (130km/h) Changed in ‘73 for a Fiat 127, another great workhorse.
My first car was a 1965 Fiat 850, blue, FGT 794C, my mum christened it Fidget, entirely appropriately. It was a death trap that somehow I never managed to crash. The steering column was pointed straight at your chest, aquaplaning was routine, the dash was trimmed with some Hardy Amies tweed with tomato red carpet left over from the bathroom, tyre pressures were 16 front, 26 rear which gives you some idea of the balance of the thing and I adored it. At 9:30 the location of the 3rd and 4th spark plugs gives you an idea of why an additional two universal joints in your forearm would have been useful. This was lovely to see, thank you for posting.
TU NON HAI MAI AVUTO UN CAZZO . DICI SOLO CRETINATE. IO CI HO CORSO 30 anni E L'HO BUTTATA VIA CHE ANDAVA ANCORA BENISSIMO X VIA DEL POSTO . FA GIUDIZIO.
When 18 in 1966 I looked for this model, but sadly bought a new BMC Mini, which was an absurdly bad built car! But some/a few years ago I have seen an elderly lady in a FIAT 850 which still looked reasonably fine, with only a few new paintings from possible rust-repairs? Denmark is the "Pure Hell" for cars, which wasn't built to be extra protected from rust, because of salted roads during winter!
Nothing makes me happier than watching old cars being restored. This is a beautiful job indeed and I very much hope that you will restore this iconic car back to its full glory. Bravo, great work.
Always AMAZING to see that water pumps and coils and cambelts ALL 20 years old NEVER fail in these 20 year old cars when ALL garages tell you to change the pumps, coils and belts every 3 to 5 years max ......
@@team3383 No cambelt in an old pushrod engine, a short chain in this case. No in -line oil filter either with the 850's, just a centrifugal one bolted onto the crankshaft pulley.

@@paulh.5691 No it isn't. It needs sandblasting and few replacement panels. All panels are avaiable.
FIAT 850 to mój pierwszy samochód.W Polsce było ich trochę ,spisywał się dobrze .Dużo przy nim sam naprawiałem,gdy nie mogłem zdobyć cylinderków hamulcowych zamontowałem od Fiata 126 P i było OK .Fajnie go po wielu latach zobaczyć😅
Yo lo tuve , fue mi primer coche allá por los 90,el modelo especial, tenia dos carburadores, uno de doble cuerpo para cuando hacia carretera y uno simple para ciudad ,lo montaba y desmontaba con un destornillador, duro como una piedra y nunca me fallaba. Lo tendria todavia, pero se lo deje a mi padre, un autentico carkiller , en vez de anticongelante le echo agua del grifo en los crudos inviernos albacetenses, le partió bloque el motor todavia tengo la documentación. Que buenos recuerdos.
I like the methodical approach to bringing this old motor back to life. Given the number of years the car has sat, some items must be replaced like the battery, points cleaned, fresh oil and fuel. Other components maybe, if it doesn't start, like the condenser. Very satisfying to watch.
I had one of these cars, way back in the 1980s. It was a fun little car, I got it for nothing, a guy traded it in for a car we had for sale, we let him off £50 against the car he bought and he was happy. I didn't drive it straight away until my Renault 10 let me down and that Fiat was the only car we had ready to drive, so I took it and enjoyed hooning around the lanes of Surrey, delightful little machine!
My first car! I had a 1969 Fiat 850 while I was a student 1976-80. It broke down so many times, but I loved it as it gave me cheap transport, and like you, I learned how to fix stuff. Your video is great - I recognised all those parts and fixed/replaced most of them on mine. The engine and gearbox were unbreakable - unlike all the other parts!
Like you, a copy of you, Simca 1000👏👏👏👏, and Rallye 1, Fiat 500, and 128, 2 CV 4, 2CV 6, Ami 6 and 8, Simca 1301 Special, 68 hp, , I need an extra channel for all the tears!!!! ❤❤Cheers T.🙏
Unbreakable? I had an 850 spider - the gearbox is all held together by one - yes one circlip. You ain't ever heard such a big bang as when that circlip breaks and all the bits are free to grind into each other!
@@whirlygig2755 Hi Alan, I guess I was very lucky! - at least with the gearbox. I still occasionally pass under a motorway bridge that I can remember sitting under years ago - rebuilding the 850's carburettor ! Wish I'd had a spider though.....
FIAT 850 und 850 Coupe habe ich n meiner Lehrzeit viel repariert . Ich habe Karosseriebauer gelernt und habe Unfallschäden repariert Ich selbst hatte auch einen ein 850 Coupe . Gekauft hatte ich den von einem Soldaten der US Armee die hier bei uns Jahrzehnte eine Kaserne betrieben haben . Der Wagen sah , was die Karosserie betrifft , eine Schande , und der Innenraum war nicht viel besser . Ich habe ihn innerhalb von 9 Monaten wieder instand gesetzt . Die Technik war erstaunlicher Weise in Ordnung . Ich hatte je nicht viel Geld als Lehrling und habe deswegen 9 Monate jeden Abend zwischen 2 oder 3 Stunden an dem Wagen gearbeitet , Viele Teile habe ich bei einem Freund der einen Schrottplatz hatte , das sparte natürlich Geld . Nach 9 Monate stand er da , wie neu , selbst mein Chef war hin und weg . Da er auch Innungsmeister war musste ich den Wagen den anderen Innungsmeistern vorführen . Da ich alles Fotografiert hatte und Belege gesammelt hatte wurde das Auto als Prüfungsarbeit gewertet weil ich nur noch 3 Monate bis zur Gesellenprüfung war . Das war im Rahmen des erlaubten . Die Note für die Arbeit wurde natürlich mit "sehr gut" bewertet . Leider wurde mir das gute Stück in Frankfurt am Main gestohlen , das Geld was ich von der Versicherung bekam ersetzte mir den Ideellen Verlust nicht .... ich habe so viel Herzblut in das Objekt gesteckt . Leider wurde er nie gefunden , wahrscheinlich wurde er nach Marseille gebracht , was damals der Haupt Umschlagplatz für gestohlene Autos , meist waren es Luxus Fahrzeuge die in den Orient oder Afrika illegal verkauft wurden . Aber auch schöne Autos die zwar nicht so viel Wert waren wie z.B. ein Mercedes oder RR usw aber begehrt weil es irgend jemand im Orient oder in Afrika gab dem dieses Auto gefällt . So kam es das zum Beispiel ,legal übrigens , eine Borgward Isabella für einen astronomisch hohen Preis an einen Scheich verkauft wurde , obwohl die Firma Borgward schon längst insolvent war .
Exactly.. technically speaking the 850 _was_ a Fiat 600, but as this last iteration of their popular small car evolved bigger than the previous restylings, it was given a new model name and a life for itself. Both cars had the same project number: the 600 was project 100 , the 850 was project 100G.
No tenéis ni puñetera idea: el 600 era español (Seat) el que decís vosotros es el Fiat (el 500) en lo único que acertais es en que el 850 eran exactamente iguales el Seat y el Fiat (pues los Seat de entonces tenían licencia Fiat)
This car was supposed to be a replacement of the Fiat 600. The idea originally was to replace the 600 with a new radical disigne of around 1000 cc. But, as usual a financial crise happened and all they did, as a quick solution was to do a 600 with a bigger engine. Of course the bigger engine needed a bigger radiator but the bigger radiator wouldn’t fit in the engine bay. To make it fit they swapped the position of the pinion. But now they had one forward gear and 3 reverse, so they had to make the engine run anti-clockwise. You couldn’t make it up, really
@@domingocarbonperal5712 Sbagli, la 600 è nata in Fiat che poi è stata data in licenza a Seat, allo stesso modo della 127. Mia madre ha avuto anche una Fiat 750 che però, se ho capito bene non era nel listino Fiat ma era costruita nei paesi dell' Est, credo in Yugostavia, si distingueva per i fanali più grandi e il motore era più potente...aveva un bellissimo rombo !
Спасибо за видео. Какими простыми и надёжными были классические автомобили! Провести диагностику системы зажигания можно было простым пробником с лампочкой, никаких сложных электронных устройств! Это сейчас удивляет. В нашей семье, 40 лет назад был автомобиль LADA-2101, прототипом которого был FIAT-124. И в нем был точно такой же прерыватель с распределителем зажигания, карбюратор WEBER, только более сложный, не с одним диффузором, а с двумя. Мне приходилось ремонтировать этот автомобиль, и это вызывает много тёплых воспоминаний.
Moj prvi avto bio je fiat 850 standard kao I ovaj. Bili su i (850special,850sport cupe) išao je bez problema. Rado sesječam tog vremena. Rezervno kolo bilo je pred akumulatorom. Razvodnik paljenja treba malo podesiti za boljši rad motora. Ovaj drugi avto je fiat 1300. Jugoslovanski mercedes! 🇸🇮❤️❤️❤️✌️
I owned a 1971 850 Saloon just like yours in central California from 1978 to 1983. It was my commuter, my off-roader, and my "high-school budget" course racer. I got to race Laguna Seca in 1981 on a track day. I went out with a Triumph, a MG, a Renault Caravelle, an 850 Spider, and an Austin America. We were the slowest cars on the track, but as Mr. Clarkson would say "It was BRILLIANT!!". The Spider and the Caravelle each had a Judson Supercharger on, so they always outdid us, but that little rear-engine/rear-wheel-drive 850 Saloon was scrappy as all get out. Thanks for bringing back some glorious memories!
mój pierwszy samochód to SEAT 850. Kupiony ponad 30 lat temu,w podobnym stanie.Uruchomiłem go po naprawie głowicy i paru innych rzeczy. Miałem wtedy z 15-16 lat i nie miałem jeszcze prawa jazdy,ale i tak nim jeździłem.Fajny samochodzik.Wał kręcił się w odwrotną stronę.Fajne czasy....
Stupenda ....ne ho riscoperA dopo 30 anni nel garage del nonno morto ! Una delle prime ......era passata in dimenticatoio molto più bella ....gonfiato gomme 5 litri di benzina terzo tentativo partitaaaaaa Un emozione idiscrevibile🥳🥳🥰🥰
BEAUTIFUL !!!! This was my grandfather 's car and he taught me to drive when I was just 12 yo in 1974, driving on country roads. What a heartbump watching this video! Thankyou!
I remember those "spacers". They were sold to prevent oil burning from worn piston rings but they mainly served to lower the compression from low to zilch!
Complimenti per l'impegno e le capacità mostrate in questo video: utilissimo per chi intende avviare motori di macchine lasciate ferme per decenni...grazie infinite.
A robust car with engine cooling problems. I am 64 years old and I also drove the fiat 850 and skoda 1000MB and trabant and Dacia 1300. After that LOGAN, VW POLO, SKODA FABIA, HYUNDAI On a mountain road in Romania (Ceahlau-Pietrele doamnei) I towed a Fiat 850 whose engine was boiling. I reached the top without any problems! What times! 40 years ago!
Cooing problems were usually because the belly pans of the engine compartmet were left off after a repair etc. They were an important part of the "pressurized" system which forced cool air to the radiator fan and then through the rear mounted radiator.
Hi from Russia. A great and accurate job was done! My greetings and admire to Your approach. In Russia we have a very similar model ZAZ. And it is for sure a great discovery for the USSR former citizens, that it's practically a copy of FIAT 850.Thank You for Your video of old cars starting. Sorry that You do not repair them to the museum condition. Hope, one day You will start Your own garage.
Very nice. 40 years ago I had the SEAT version, 133, great bulletproof pushrod engine, much the same as in my later 900T van, and 127(903cc),easy to drive and a smooth ride. Great video, thanks.
The little FIAT couldn´t have found a more wonderful place to rest. In 1975 I took a ride in one such 850. I still remember the deafening engine noise.
Hallo , ich musste das Video zweimal ansehen. Ich habe sehr viel an den Motoren geschraubt, auch hatte ich einen 850er Bus der auch schon einige Jahre in einer Scheune stand wieder zum laufen gebracht und restauriert, ihn drei Jahre gefahren, Gratulation das Auto wieder zum laufen gebracht zu haben, ich liebe diese alten Fiat's, meine Lehrwerkstatt war eine FIAT Service Station.
Magnifique travail ! J'avais une fiat Fiat 850 dans les années 80. C'est une superbe voiture. J'ai appris à conduire avec ce bijou. Ça me rappelle de très bon souvenir ! Merci pour cette belle vidéo.
J'avais une 850 coupé pour une somme modique vers 1980 , le refroidissement était défectueux après plusieurs kilomètres quand j'arrêterai le moteur et sa faisait " Krout,krout .. je l'ai revendu pour pièce les réparations était trop onéreuses ! C'est une voiture de collection maintenant !
Było to bardzo fajne autko zwłaszcza w wersji coupe. Gdy chodzi o sam filmik to chyba bardziej chodziło o jego uruchomienie niż renowację. Do renowacji podchodzi się bardziej systemowo. Uruchomienie w ten sposób mogło doprowadzić do uszkodzeń cylindrów, tłoków, łożyskowania...
I worked on these in the late seventies, at the local dealers. Revolting little pieces of garbage. Rusted before they left the factory, which was shared with most FIAT'S at the time. Not quite as bad as the 850 van/camper, they could be driven from the showroom straight to the scrap yard. Except the scrappy wouldn't want it.
Nostalgia!I had one exactly the same as a winter car in 1978-79. A white with red interior, FIAT 850 1969 model year.😍 It was great fun on the winter road and very good heat in the car. I remember fitting 155x14" (org. 145x13) studded winter wheels, which I had lying around from another car. 😎👍
@@bolla1369 Potrebbe essere vero. In ogni caso era un'auto divertente da guidare. Aveva anche 1 FIAT Panda 4x4, 1 UNO 70S e una SAAB 600GLS/Lancia Delta, Lancia A-112 negli anni '90
Como decia Jezulin, simplemente dos palabras para definir tus maquetas IN PREZIONANTE 😂 no le falta ni el más mínimo detalle, me recuerda cuando paseaba con mi Motoretta en los años 80 por las valles de mi barrio.
I worked at a Fiat dealership back in the 80s came across a 127 sport 5 speed box a twin choke Webber pushing out 75 bhp, the lady owner said in was very slow, I took a look and found the second choke linkage wasn't working and one spark plug gap was closed, sorted the faults took it out for a test drive and fell in love with it! the lady owner was well pleased and tipped me a fiver!
Eso si eran maquinas y ecologia ya que sigue funcionando con 50 años. El otro día vi un coche moderno de 40mil euros, bloqueado en mi garaje, obstruyendo el paso de todos, y no podíamos ni empujar ni neutral ni nada, no había quien lo moviera 1 centímetro .Un autentico problema tanta electronica.
850 special di mia madre, la comprò per togliersi una magnifica Fiat 750.... che se ondi lei aveva un grosso problema, consumava acqua 🙂 doveva controllarla ogni 3-5 settimane, ma io l'ho guidata (a 14 anni) era davvero più potente e cattiva della 600 classica.
Świetny film! To przywołuje we mnie wspomnienia starych, dobrych czasów. Miałem też kilka takich fiatów. Przyspawałem do niego już kilka blach. W tamtych czasach do spawania nadal używano acetylenu i tlenu. pozdrowienia z Niemiec
A friend of my Father operated a Garage for 30 years specializing in VW's. He attended to my Fathers Beetle VW for most of those years. I met him after not seeing him for many years and he mentioned he had sold his business as it was too hard to keep up with all the new computer based Technologies....not to speak of the cost of new testing equipment. Seems like the days of fix it yourself etc.. are gone.
Love this, I have just discovered your channel and started with the Alfa Romeo 33 resurrection series. I am doing my own at home on my recently acquired Alfa Romeo Sprint. Look out for the dust from the seat cushion foam. When this old foam degrades and turns to dust, the fine power that comes off the surface is very irritating and is carcinogenic if breathed in. I have stabilised old seat foam by coating the surface with a mixture of PVA and water, allowing it to soak in, it binds the dust and stops it flying about.
I’m glad you like my videos! I didn’t know about the dust created from the foam of the seats, thanks for the tip! How’s it going with the Alfa Sprint? Do you need to restore it?
Muy bueno, buenísimo, bien filmado, mejor explicado, sin músicas, justo el texto que lo relata todo. Muy interesante y conciso en lo fundamental de la operación. Enhorabuena.
Oh che bello, anche la 500 con 18 CV, anche la mia successiva 128a 1100, con 55 CV, dove altri ancora strisciavano con motore posteriore raffreddato ad aria, Fiat aveva berline moderne con motore anteriore !!👏👏👏👏❤❤🚗
Hallo. I remenber tha this engine have a centifugal oil filter in the end of cranckshaft. The oil was too dirty, sure the filter needs a cleaning. The "filter" is a cover and only need to open it and "remove" the dirt. Many people don't knew this and they thought there was not filtering and sometimes i found filters full of dirt as stone!!
Non c'è dubbio questa Fiat 850, esposta alle intemperie la ruggine l'ha aggredita tutta! Come tutte le auto prodotte fino agli anni'80 non aveva nessuna protezione antiruggine quelle lamiere già a scarso tenore di carbonio, erano destinate a corrodersi completamente! Come se fosse una moda tutta europea! Le auto di quei tempi con qualche rara eccezione, marcivano sola a guardarle!
My Dad had a maroon one of these when I was a kid, it had some kind of faster motor in it, from an 850 sport? Anyway it went like the clappers, but it was really unreliable and I remember having to frequently push it down a hill in the morning to get it going so my Dad could get to work. Then the rust really took hold and the engine fell out.
Yes, the "sportier" version was the 850 Sport. As for reliability, I can tell you they were simple cars that could go for many miles. It’s possible that the one your father had had already covered a lot of mileage or had an issue that was never fully resolved. However, rust was a common problem with these cars
Questa Fiat 850 Berlina Super ( perche' ha il carburatore con Diffusore 22 mm lo si vede quando lava il carburatore) è una prima serie del 64' o 65, perche' ha il tappo benzina quadrato e quindi il serbatoio zincato, i fanalini posteriori con il rifrangente corto, la targhetta identificativa sul lato sinistro del vano motore, il tappo triangolare del galleggiante nel vano motore, il manicotto superiore a soffietto del radiatore questo vuol dire che ha un radiatore a due file lungo di 375 mm delle prime serie, le maniglie delle porte a leva le originali della 850, oggi inizia ad essere rara, perche' sono quasi tutte seconde serie con le maniglie della 500 a pulsante che a me francamente non piacciono molto, la 850 berlina è nata con le maniglie a leva come questa.
Ciao, ho rilevato alcune "stranezze" nel filmato e ne vorrei il tuo parere....... innanzi tutto credo che l'auto sia una primissima serie perchè come si vede al minuto 1.50 sul cofano anteriore mancano le due barre interne di rinforzo che furono inserite per limitare la flessione del cofano e irrobustirlo....Al minuto 14.32 l'interruttore di accensione orignale montato sull'auto e' diverso da quello previsto in origine che era tutto metallico (mentre quello che si vede sembra fissato con una ghiera in plastica nera) e presentava delle scritte attorno alla chiave (MAR - ACCENSIONE ECC....). Ancora piu' curioso l'interno del vano motore al minuto 13.40 si vede benissimo che la puleggia della dinamo ha una gola solamente ed una cinghia unica. Di solito la dinamo presenta una puleggia con due gole e due cinghie, una proveniente dal motore che muove la dinamo stessa ed una che fa' girare la pompa dell'acqua. Per concludere il motore sembra girare in senso antiorario al contrario del solito. In pratica l'aria calda del radiatore viene aspirata nel vano motore piuttosto che essere spinta fuori !!! Sembrerebbe quasi abbiamo montato un motore di una 600 ??? Oppure e' una sorta di prototipo ???
@@marcoceredi Ciao !! Si ho visto anche io questi tuoi particolari e ti rispondo subito, il Commutatore di Accensione, gli Originali erano Sipea, i primi li facevano con la ghiera di metallo cromata, poi come ricambio li davano con la ghiera in plastica nera, per cui li è nero perche' è stato in qualche momento sostituito, in quanto lo sfregamento continuo dei contatti nell'uso dava dei problemi di accensione a carico del commutatore, ricotrdo che tutte le 850 erano predisposte per il montaggio del commutatore con antifurto anch'esso fornito da Sipea, bastava togliere la piastrina fermata con la vite. Per quanto riguarda la puleggia della dinamo, qualcuno l'ha sostituita perche' in origine c'era la puleggia con la doppia gola e due cinghie non una unica per le tre pulegge, quella puleggia è del 124 berlina o delle prime 127 o A 112, per cui è una modifica fatta da qualche meccanico in seguito. Per quanto riguarda il senso di rotazione è noto a tutti che il motore 850 gira sinistroso o antiorario, e che ha le pale del ventilatore assiale posizionate in modo inverso a quelle della 600 che invece gira destrorso, l'aria è sempre soffiata sulla massa radiante( e mai aspirata) e scaricata per mezzo dello sportello sotto scocca sempre aperto e fisso perche' la regolazione dell'impianto di raffreddamento nella 850 avviene tramite termostato all'uscita del liquido refrigerante dalla testata, mentre nelle 600, la regolazione avviene tramite parzializzazione dell'uscita dell'aria calda dal radiatore ed in effetti il termostato in questo è posizionato nella vaschetta inferiore del radiatore il quale tramite leveraggio apre e chiude lo sportello del sottoscocca. Per il Cofano anteriore si è vero le prime serie fino ad un certo numero di telaio non avevano i due rinforzi, che poi vennero messi per irrigidire la superfice del cofano stesso.
Se calentaba mucho como todos los traccion trasera, pero con un cacho de alambre te sacaba de muchos problemas 😅😅 Recuerdo que las bujías eran unas Champion N9y.
At the time of purchase, Fiat also gave away a sack full of rust to be used at will on the bodywork. I was in an old Fiat and when it rained, water would come in from under the carpet.
This is the first I see that that the oil is changed BEFORE start in these resurrection videos. My grandpa had a 850 Special, that is with more horsepower, and maybe some other upgrades. That was some 40 years ago...
11:22 Can anyone explain what that is good for? I've never seen this before in an engine. Btw, my grandpa drove exactly that version (white/red) until he died in 1982. Memories...
@Erroneous Bosh, they are spark plug spacers, and they are used to prevent drops of oil from reaching the spark plug. The oil that gets on the spark plug does not strike the spark or causes it to strike badly. The spark plug spacers are used on high mileage engines where the piston rings are worn
@@Ego.Reficio Thanks for the explanation. I never heard of this before. But I guess it impedes the ignition process a bit...? It's kind of pre-chamber like in some diesel-engines...

I enjoyed the video. The house and garden where it lies is beautiful. I did not see you install the fuel filter. I hope you checked the brakes before driving it. I have a 1967 Fiat 600D (with 850 engine) in USA.
Thank you! I installed the fuel filter, you can see it when I change the fuel line. For the brakes instead, fortunately no wheel was blocked. I did not check them because I only did a short ride inside the house
Very good job :)) Please tell me what these spark plug spacers were used for? The spark plug was screwed into these spacers to increase the volume of the combustion chamber and change the compression ratio to a lower one? Regards . Adam from Poland
Hi Adam, Thank you! These spacers are used to prevent oil from reaching the spark plug and damaging the spark. They were used on high-mileage engines where oil would easily rise through the cylinders and end up in the combustion chamber
@Ego.Reficio Thank you very much for your answer. This is a very radical solution, i.e. it is a separator from the oil mist that accumulates on the spark plug. I think I'd rather repair the engine :)))
You're welcome! Repairing the engine is definitely the best solution, but it’s still an expensive option and takes time. For this reason, these were also used to delay the work 😄
Mi padre la comprò nel '69, è incredibile come allora ci si andava in viaggio con tutta la famiglia di 4 persone + i bagagli sul tetto + canotto 😁💪 oggi sarebbe inconcepibile non usare un SUV da almeno 5 metri.... 😜
È stata la primissima macchina che ho messo in moto da solo, avevo 8 anni, ma sotto la super visione di mio zio e freno a mano molto ben tirato. Il motore della 850 è derivato dalla fiat 600 ed ha servito le A112, 127, le 500 903cc la cosa diversa era il senso di rotazione sinistro mentre tutti gli altri destri, motori indistruttibili.
my fiat 850 sat also for 20 years parked with a brand new engine and my grandad stole the plugs for his lada off of it and the engine seized but i have rebuilt it now. waiting on better weather so i can weld the engine bay and install the engine.
Hi, I'm Italian and I live in Sardinia. With this video, you took me back more than 40 years.
The Fiat 850 was my father's first car, exactly the same color as yours.
I had some great memories with that car.
I have it too hhhh
I am spaniard and my father's car was a Seat 850 Especial too.
Seat and Fiat are like cousins, they fit the same parts
@@santacruzada If I remember clearly, in The Netherlands we had 850's and 600's with a Fiat badge on. But inside it would show "Seat made in Spain"
Never mind, what fun they were!
Had two coupes too, they were decidedly faster!
I'n from Milan and father bought this car in 1965. It stayed with us until 1974 and 130 thousand kilometers. It was a 850 special colour blue
Da werden Erinnerungen wach 😊
Neben dem 850er steht ein blauer Fiat 1500. So einen hatten wir damals in den 60er Jahren als ich noch ein Kind war. Im Urlaub ging auf der Rückfahrt von Italien nach Deutscland nachts im strömenden Regen die Lichtmaschine kaputt und meine Mutter musste sich auf die Motorhaube setzen, die Scheibe von Hand wischen und mit der Taschenlampe auf die Straße leuchten um Strom zu sparen. Wir kamen dann grade noch bis ins nächste Dorf.
Das war so aufregend, einfach unbezahlbar. Was für eine tolle Zeit damals.
These cars are less reliable than modern cars, but even if a breakdown occurred they allowed you to return home, and turned a misadventure into an adventure!
Ah, memories... In June 1966 we travelled by train to Turin and collected our new white 850 tax-free. We travelled all over Italy and France, and drove back to London. A year later we exported the car to Australia, and traded it in 1968 for a Fiat 124. Great fun vehicles!
Great story John , thanks for sharing your memories.
RHD ?????
@@peers1111 Yes, I don't think Australia accepted LHD in those days, changed now. And duty-free it cost only £360, whereas a basic Mini (850cc) cost £445 plus about£15 for a heater.
the same for me, i live in Florence
my father"s was grey and i learnt to drive on that in 1979 when our FIAT 850 was already 10 years old
very great memories for me too ..... on that car
When you got it started I wanted to stand up and cheer! The engine still sounds strong at least to me a non-mechanic. I delivered chicken and pizza for a little carry out restaurant in a rusty, blue Fiat 850 back in 1971. Good times!
Thank you very much! I am glad that it brought back some old and dear memories to you ❤
My 1st car in the early eighties.bought for seventy quid with a full mot and full of holes.would nudge ninety mph down a slight decline.never was a car so mercilessly thrashed,fond memories of a misspent youth.thanks so much for posting this, it was so long ago.
Endlich mal ein Wiederbeleber, der vorher wichtigste Schritte unternimmt, dass die vielleicht laufende Maschine nach dem Start keinen Schaden mehr nimmt. Sehr gut!
My first car, purchased new in 1969. Never failed me once , including during dozens of Paris-Nice return trips at top speed (130km/h)
Changed in ‘73 for a Fiat 127, another great workhorse.
Yes Sir, indeed they were pleasant and very dependable little cars.
It's fun to watch people doing their job well. and it is obvious that the correct treatment of a vehicle, even if it is old, will save the vehicle.
My first car was a 1965 Fiat 850, blue, FGT 794C, my mum christened it Fidget, entirely appropriately. It was a death trap that somehow I never managed to crash. The steering column was pointed straight at your chest, aquaplaning was routine, the dash was trimmed with some Hardy Amies tweed with tomato red carpet left over from the bathroom, tyre pressures were 16 front, 26 rear which gives you some idea of the balance of the thing and I adored it. At 9:30 the location of the 3rd and 4th spark plugs gives you an idea of why an additional two universal joints in your forearm would have been useful.
This was lovely to see, thank you for posting.
To own a fiat 850 was to love it!

When 18 in 1966 I looked for this model, but sadly bought a new BMC Mini, which was an absurdly bad built car! But some/a few years ago I have seen an elderly lady in a FIAT 850 which still looked reasonably fine, with only a few new paintings from possible rust-repairs? Denmark is the "Pure Hell" for cars, which wasn't built to be extra protected from rust, because of salted roads during winter!
A Fiat 850 was my parents' first car. I was small then and I look at the pictures of one life and dear people who have left. Greetings from Serbia.
FIAT 850
Moj cale prvo imao ficu,onda sledeci auto kao veci ,komforniji 😊 kupio 850 ,isli na more s njim , voleo sam taj auto
Nothing makes me happier than watching old cars being restored. This is a beautiful job indeed and I very much hope that you will restore this iconic car back to its full glory. Bravo, great work.
Always AMAZING to see that water pumps and coils and cambelts ALL 20 years old NEVER fail in these 20 year old cars when ALL garages tell you to change the pumps, coils and belts every 3 to 5 years max ......
This one's way beyond restoration.
@@team3383 No cambelt in an old pushrod engine, a short chain in this case. No in -line oil filter either with the 850's, just a centrifugal one bolted onto the crankshaft pulley.
@@paulh.5691 No it isn't. It needs sandblasting and few replacement panels. All panels are avaiable.
FIAT 850 to mój pierwszy samochód.W Polsce było ich trochę ,spisywał się dobrze .Dużo przy nim sam naprawiałem,gdy nie mogłem zdobyć cylinderków hamulcowych zamontowałem od Fiata 126 P i było OK .Fajnie go po wielu latach zobaczyć😅
I’m glad I brought back an old memory ♥
a mój to seat 850. w podobnym stanie.30 lat temu :)
Yo lo tuve , fue mi primer coche allá por los 90,el modelo especial, tenia dos carburadores, uno de doble cuerpo para cuando hacia carretera y uno simple para ciudad ,lo montaba y desmontaba con un destornillador, duro como una piedra y nunca me fallaba. Lo tendria todavia, pero se lo deje a mi padre, un autentico carkiller , en vez de anticongelante le echo agua del grifo en los crudos inviernos albacetenses, le partió bloque el motor todavia tengo la documentación. Que buenos recuerdos.
My first car was a Fiat 500 from 1966.A red one.
I loved that car!
I like the methodical approach to bringing this old motor back to life. Given the number of years the car has sat, some items must be replaced like the battery, points cleaned, fresh oil and fuel. Other components maybe, if it doesn't start, like the condenser. Very satisfying to watch.
🤪🙂
I had one of these cars, way back in the 1980s. It was a fun little car, I got it for nothing, a guy traded it in for a car we had for sale, we let him off £50 against the car he bought and he was happy. I didn't drive it straight away until my Renault 10 let me down and that Fiat was the only car we had ready to drive, so I took it and enjoyed hooning around the lanes of Surrey, delightful little machine!
My first car! I had a 1969 Fiat 850 while I was a student 1976-80. It broke down so many times, but I loved it as it gave me cheap transport, and like you, I learned how to fix stuff. Your video is great - I recognised all those parts and fixed/replaced most of them on mine. The engine and gearbox were unbreakable - unlike all the other parts!
thank you!
And the engine rotate from the right to the left and you can start with the jack handle.
Like you, a copy of you, Simca 1000👏👏👏👏, and Rallye 1, Fiat 500, and 128, 2 CV 4, 2CV 6, Ami 6 and 8, Simca 1301 Special, 68 hp, , I need an extra channel for all the tears!!!! ❤❤Cheers T.🙏
Unbreakable? I had an 850 spider - the gearbox is all held together by one - yes one circlip. You ain't ever heard such a big bang as when that circlip breaks and all the bits are free to grind into each other!
@@whirlygig2755 Hi Alan, I guess I was very lucky! - at least with the gearbox. I still occasionally pass under a motorway bridge that I can remember sitting under years ago - rebuilding the 850's carburettor ! Wish I'd had a spider though.....
I was brought up in a FIAT 128 and drive a Stilo today. I love these cars.
FIAT 850 und 850 Coupe habe ich n meiner Lehrzeit viel repariert . Ich habe Karosseriebauer gelernt und habe Unfallschäden repariert Ich selbst hatte auch einen ein 850 Coupe . Gekauft hatte ich den von einem Soldaten der US Armee die hier bei uns Jahrzehnte eine Kaserne betrieben haben . Der Wagen sah , was die Karosserie betrifft , eine Schande , und der Innenraum war nicht viel besser . Ich habe ihn innerhalb von 9 Monaten wieder instand gesetzt . Die Technik war erstaunlicher Weise in Ordnung . Ich hatte je nicht viel Geld als Lehrling und habe deswegen 9 Monate jeden Abend zwischen 2 oder 3 Stunden an dem Wagen gearbeitet , Viele Teile habe ich bei einem Freund der einen Schrottplatz hatte , das sparte natürlich Geld . Nach 9 Monate stand er da , wie neu , selbst mein Chef war hin und weg . Da er auch Innungsmeister war musste ich den Wagen den anderen Innungsmeistern vorführen . Da ich alles Fotografiert hatte und Belege gesammelt hatte wurde das Auto als Prüfungsarbeit gewertet weil ich nur noch 3 Monate bis zur Gesellenprüfung war . Das war im Rahmen des erlaubten . Die Note für die Arbeit wurde natürlich mit "sehr gut" bewertet . Leider wurde mir das gute Stück in Frankfurt am Main gestohlen , das Geld was ich von der Versicherung bekam ersetzte mir den Ideellen Verlust nicht .... ich habe so viel Herzblut in das Objekt gesteckt . Leider wurde er nie gefunden , wahrscheinlich wurde er nach Marseille gebracht , was damals der Haupt Umschlagplatz für gestohlene Autos , meist waren es Luxus Fahrzeuge die in den Orient oder Afrika illegal verkauft wurden . Aber auch schöne Autos die zwar nicht so viel Wert waren wie z.B. ein Mercedes oder RR usw aber begehrt weil es irgend jemand im Orient oder in Afrika gab dem dieses Auto gefällt . So kam es das zum Beispiel ,legal übrigens , eine Borgward Isabella für einen astronomisch hohen Preis an einen Scheich verkauft wurde , obwohl die Firma Borgward schon längst insolvent war .
it was nice to read your experience. I was very sad to read in the finale that your car, after so many sacrifices, was stolen... 💔
Sehr schöne Erinnerungen.
I love the respect from this old car is treated! It was a little more roomy version of the FIAT 600, and it was made into Abarth racing monsters also.
Exactly.. technically speaking the 850 _was_ a Fiat 600, but as this last iteration of their popular small car evolved bigger than the previous restylings, it was given a new model name and a life for itself. Both cars had the same project number: the 600 was project 100 , the 850 was project 100G.
No tenéis ni puñetera idea: el 600 era español (Seat) el que decís vosotros es el Fiat (el 500) en lo único que acertais es en que el 850 eran exactamente iguales el Seat y el Fiat (pues los Seat de entonces tenían licencia Fiat)
This car was supposed to be a replacement of the Fiat 600. The idea originally was to replace the 600 with a new radical disigne of around 1000 cc. But, as usual a financial crise happened and all they did, as a quick solution was to do a 600 with a bigger engine. Of course the bigger engine needed a bigger radiator but the bigger radiator wouldn’t fit in the engine bay. To make it fit they swapped the position of the pinion. But now they had one forward gear and 3 reverse, so they had to make the engine run anti-clockwise. You couldn’t make it up, really
@@domingocarbonperal5712
Sbagli, la 600 è nata in Fiat che poi è stata data in licenza a Seat, allo stesso modo della 127.
Mia madre ha avuto anche una Fiat 750 che però, se ho capito bene non era nel listino Fiat ma era costruita nei paesi dell' Est, credo in Yugostavia, si distingueva per i fanali più grandi e il motore era più potente...aveva un bellissimo rombo !
Спасибо за видео. Какими простыми и надёжными были классические автомобили! Провести диагностику системы зажигания можно было простым пробником с лампочкой, никаких сложных электронных устройств! Это сейчас удивляет. В нашей семье, 40 лет назад был автомобиль LADA-2101, прототипом которого был FIAT-124. И в нем был точно такой же прерыватель с распределителем зажигания, карбюратор WEBER, только более сложный, не с одним диффузором, а с двумя. Мне приходилось ремонтировать этот автомобиль, и это вызывает много тёплых воспоминаний.
The world needs you to do more car videos like this. It's truly magnificent.
thanks! i am working on another video like this, but on another car to start
Thank you from sunny Boston ❤❤❤

I owned a 1971 850 Saloon just like yours in central California from 1978 to 1983. It was my commuter, my off-roader, and my "high-school budget" course racer. I got to race Laguna Seca in 1981 on a track day. I went out with a Triumph, a MG, a Renault Caravelle, an 850 Spider, and an Austin America. We were the slowest cars on the track, but as Mr. Clarkson would say "It was BRILLIANT!!". The Spider and the Caravelle each had a Judson Supercharger on, so they always outdid us, but that little rear-engine/rear-wheel-drive 850 Saloon was scrappy as all get out. Thanks for bringing back some glorious memories!
I’m glad this video brought back good memories for you ❤️
mój pierwszy samochód to SEAT 850. Kupiony ponad 30 lat temu,w podobnym stanie.Uruchomiłem go po naprawie głowicy i paru innych rzeczy. Miałem wtedy z 15-16 lat i nie miałem jeszcze prawa jazdy,ale i tak nim jeździłem.Fajny samochodzik.Wał kręcił się w odwrotną stronę.Fajne czasy....

BEAUTIFUL !!!! This was my grandfather 's car and he taught me to drive when I was just 12 yo in 1974, driving on country roads. What a heartbump watching this video! Thankyou!
I’m glad that seeing the video you came up with these memories ❤
Мне как обладателю Москвич-410 1960 года, очень нравится смотреть подобные видео.
Thank you!
I remember those "spacers". They were sold to prevent oil burning from worn piston rings but they mainly served to lower the compression from low to zilch!
You are one of the few who understood what those spark plug spacers are for, congratulations! 90% of the people commented on that 😂
Complimenti per l'impegno e le capacità mostrate in questo video: utilissimo per chi intende avviare motori di macchine lasciate ferme per decenni...grazie infinite.
A robust car with engine cooling problems.
I am 64 years old and I also drove the fiat 850 and skoda 1000MB and trabant and Dacia 1300. After that LOGAN, VW POLO, SKODA FABIA, HYUNDAI
On a mountain road in Romania (Ceahlau-Pietrele doamnei) I towed a Fiat 850 whose engine was boiling.
I reached the top without any problems!
What times! 40 years ago!
Cooing problems were usually because the belly pans of the engine compartmet were left off after a repair etc. They were an important part of the "pressurized" system which forced cool air to the radiator fan and then through the rear mounted radiator.
Der 850ger in Rot war mein erstes Auto. Hab ich fast drei Jahre gefahren und mir dann das 850ger Cabrio gekauft. War ne schöne Zeit damals.
Hi from Russia. A great and accurate job was done! My greetings and admire to Your approach. In Russia we have a very similar model ZAZ. And it is for sure a great discovery for the USSR former citizens, that it's practically a copy of FIAT 850.Thank You for Your video of old cars starting. Sorry that You do not repair them to the museum condition. Hope, one day You will start Your own garage.
Very nice. 40 years ago I had the SEAT version, 133, great bulletproof pushrod engine, much the same as in my later 900T van, and 127(903cc),easy to drive and a smooth ride. Great video, thanks.
A car of my childhood... remember the years ...a long time ago
Phantastic Video, i like it. I am actually bring back an VW Iltis from 1979 back to the road. Didn’t run for over 10 years Greetings from Germany Ed
The little FIAT couldn´t have found a more wonderful place to rest. In 1975 I took a ride in one such 850. I still remember the deafening engine noise.
Hallo , ich musste das Video zweimal ansehen. Ich habe sehr viel an den Motoren geschraubt, auch hatte ich einen 850er Bus der auch schon einige Jahre in einer Scheune stand wieder zum laufen gebracht und restauriert, ihn drei Jahre gefahren, Gratulation das Auto wieder zum laufen gebracht zu haben, ich liebe diese alten Fiat's, meine Lehrwerkstatt war eine FIAT Service Station.
Hi, I’m glad you enjoyed the video!
Magnifique travail !
J'avais une fiat Fiat 850 dans les années 80.
C'est une superbe voiture.
J'ai appris à conduire avec ce bijou.
Ça me rappelle de très bon souvenir !
Merci pour cette belle vidéo.
J'avais une 850 coupé pour une somme modique vers 1980 , le refroidissement était défectueux après plusieurs kilomètres quand j'arrêterai le moteur et sa faisait " Krout,krout .. je l'ai revendu pour pièce les réparations était trop onéreuses ! C'est une voiture de collection maintenant !
Było to bardzo fajne autko zwłaszcza w wersji coupe. Gdy chodzi o sam filmik to chyba bardziej chodziło o jego uruchomienie niż renowację. Do renowacji podchodzi się bardziej systemowo. Uruchomienie w ten sposób mogło doprowadzić do uszkodzeń cylindrów, tłoków, łożyskowania...
Even in the 1980's you could still do small repairs on your own car without any mechanical experience - Loved them cars.
Yup.
I believe. My fiat was 1969 and stay in Sarajevo during the war. Five years after we back and start engine without any problem
Wow.... it's amazing. The engine was still in good condition. It was a quick fix. I would like to have that car. It's so cute.
I love the suspense when I watch videos of dormant engines coming back to life
I worked on these in the late seventies, at the local dealers.
Revolting little pieces of garbage.
Rusted before they left the factory, which was shared with most FIAT'S at the time.
Not quite as bad as the 850 van/camper, they could be driven from the showroom straight to the scrap yard.
Except the scrappy wouldn't want it.
Well done and a great video, no annoying music or commentary. Just the way I like it, in and out of my car.

Nostalgia!I had one exactly the same as a winter car in 1978-79. A white with red interior, FIAT 850 1969 model year.😍 It was great fun on the winter road and very good heat in the car. I remember fitting 155x14" (org. 145x13) studded winter wheels, which I had lying around from another car. 😎👍

They were difficult to start when new if the weather was cold or damp. but lovely little cars when they did go and before they rusted away.

Love this, I have just discovered your channel and started with the Alfa Romeo 33 resurrection series. I am doing my own at home on my recently acquired Alfa Romeo Sprint.
Look out for the dust from the seat cushion foam. When this old foam degrades and turns to dust, the fine power that comes off the surface is very irritating and is carcinogenic if breathed in. I have stabilised old seat foam by coating the surface with a mixture of PVA and water, allowing it to soak in, it binds the dust and stops it flying about.
I’m glad you like my videos! I didn’t know about the dust created from the foam of the seats, thanks for the tip! How’s it going with the Alfa Sprint? Do you need to restore it?

Oh che bello, anche la 500 con 18 CV, anche la mia successiva 128a 1100, con 55 CV, dove altri ancora strisciavano con motore posteriore raffreddato ad aria, Fiat aveva berline moderne con motore anteriore !!👏👏👏👏❤❤🚗
Good work! I have Fiat 850 1974 80s and good memories. My Fiat have not weber carb 👍👍👍
Hallo. I remenber tha this engine have a centifugal oil filter in the end of cranckshaft. The oil was too dirty, sure the filter needs a cleaning. The "filter" is a cover and only need to open it and "remove" the dirt. Many people don't knew this and they thought there was not filtering and sometimes i found filters full of dirt as stone!!
My parents had one. Fast but there was very little protection single skin wings! A bit of a flying coffin but great to drive. Ah the memories!!
Non c'è dubbio questa Fiat 850, esposta alle intemperie la ruggine l'ha aggredita tutta! Come tutte le auto prodotte fino agli anni'80 non aveva nessuna protezione antiruggine quelle lamiere già a scarso tenore di carbonio, erano destinate a corrodersi completamente! Come se fosse una moda tutta europea! Le auto di quei tempi con qualche rara eccezione, marcivano sola a guardarle!
Mi primer coche fue un seat 850 de segunda mano, como ese. Que recuerdos...😊
Very satisfying to hear it start!
Great video! Hope you gain a huge following- perfect presentation, camera work, momentum, etc.
best of luck.
My Dad had a maroon one of these when I was a kid, it had some kind of faster motor in it, from an 850 sport? Anyway it went like the clappers, but it was really unreliable and I remember having to frequently push it down a hill in the morning to get it going so my Dad could get to work. Then the rust really took hold and the engine fell out.
Yes, the "sportier" version was the 850 Sport. As for reliability, I can tell you they were simple cars that could go for many miles. It’s possible that the one your father had had already covered a lot of mileage or had an issue that was never fully resolved. However, rust was a common problem with these cars
Somebody PROFESSIONAL, who knows what they're doing!
Thank you! ❤️
Questa Fiat 850 Berlina Super ( perche' ha il carburatore con Diffusore 22 mm lo si vede quando lava il carburatore) è una prima serie del 64' o 65, perche' ha il tappo benzina quadrato e quindi il serbatoio zincato, i fanalini posteriori con il rifrangente corto, la targhetta identificativa sul lato sinistro del vano motore, il tappo triangolare del galleggiante nel vano motore, il manicotto superiore a soffietto del radiatore questo vuol dire che ha un radiatore a due file lungo di 375 mm delle prime serie, le maniglie delle porte a leva le originali della 850, oggi inizia ad essere rara, perche' sono quasi tutte seconde serie con le maniglie della 500 a pulsante che a me francamente non piacciono molto, la 850 berlina è nata con le maniglie a leva come questa.
Ciao, ho rilevato alcune "stranezze" nel filmato e ne vorrei il tuo parere....... innanzi tutto credo che l'auto sia una primissima serie perchè come si vede al minuto 1.50 sul cofano anteriore mancano le due barre interne di rinforzo che furono inserite per limitare la flessione del cofano e irrobustirlo....Al minuto 14.32 l'interruttore di accensione orignale montato sull'auto e' diverso da quello previsto in origine che era tutto metallico (mentre quello che si vede sembra fissato con una ghiera in plastica nera) e presentava delle scritte attorno alla chiave (MAR - ACCENSIONE ECC....). Ancora piu' curioso l'interno del vano motore al minuto 13.40 si vede benissimo che la puleggia della dinamo ha una gola solamente ed una cinghia unica. Di solito la dinamo presenta una puleggia con due gole e due cinghie, una proveniente dal motore che muove la dinamo stessa ed una che fa' girare la pompa dell'acqua. Per concludere il motore sembra girare in senso antiorario al contrario del solito. In pratica l'aria calda del radiatore viene aspirata nel vano motore piuttosto che essere spinta fuori !!! Sembrerebbe quasi abbiamo montato un motore di una 600 ??? Oppure e' una sorta di prototipo ???
@@marcoceredi Ciao !! Si ho visto anche io questi tuoi particolari e ti rispondo subito, il Commutatore di Accensione, gli Originali erano Sipea, i primi li facevano con la ghiera di metallo cromata, poi come ricambio li davano con la ghiera in plastica nera, per cui li è nero perche' è stato in qualche momento sostituito, in quanto lo sfregamento continuo dei contatti nell'uso dava dei problemi di accensione a carico del commutatore, ricotrdo che tutte le 850 erano predisposte per il montaggio del commutatore con antifurto anch'esso fornito da Sipea, bastava togliere la piastrina fermata con la vite. Per quanto riguarda la puleggia della dinamo, qualcuno l'ha sostituita perche' in origine c'era la puleggia con la doppia gola e due cinghie non una unica per le tre pulegge, quella puleggia è del 124 berlina o delle prime 127 o A 112, per cui è una modifica fatta da qualche meccanico in seguito. Per quanto riguarda il senso di rotazione è noto a tutti che il motore 850 gira sinistroso o antiorario, e che ha le pale del ventilatore assiale posizionate in modo inverso a quelle della 600 che invece gira destrorso, l'aria è sempre soffiata sulla massa radiante( e mai aspirata) e scaricata per mezzo dello sportello sotto scocca sempre aperto e fisso perche' la regolazione dell'impianto di raffreddamento nella 850 avviene tramite termostato all'uscita del liquido refrigerante dalla testata, mentre nelle 600, la regolazione avviene tramite parzializzazione dell'uscita dell'aria calda dal radiatore ed in effetti il termostato in questo è posizionato nella vaschetta inferiore del radiatore il quale tramite leveraggio apre e chiude lo sportello del sottoscocca. Per il Cofano anteriore si è vero le prime serie fino ad un certo numero di telaio non avevano i due rinforzi, che poi vennero messi per irrigidire la superfice del cofano stesso.
ça faisait très longtemps que je n'avais pas vu une 850 bouger ! 👍
La masse, toujours la masse :)

What's up with those sparkplug spacers? Those can't be good for horsepower, maybe for emissions?
Gute Arbeit. Alles richtig gemacht! Der Fiat 850 läuft wieder.

I had a 1971 Fiat 850 Sport. Nice car.
Se calentaba mucho como todos los traccion trasera, pero con un cacho de alambre te sacaba de muchos problemas 😅😅 Recuerdo que las bujías eran unas Champion N9y.
At the time of purchase, Fiat also gave away a sack full of rust to be used at will on the bodywork.
I was in an old Fiat and when it rained, water would come in from under the carpet.
This is the first I see that that the oil is changed BEFORE start in these resurrection videos.
My grandpa had a 850 Special, that is with more horsepower, and maybe some other upgrades. That was some 40 years ago...
Вот это и хотел сказать. Без мычания , матюков. Все конкретно , по делу.
11:22 Can anyone explain what that is good for? I've never seen this before in an engine.
Btw, my grandpa drove exactly that version (white/red) until he died in 1982. Memories...
Me too. No idea what those were.
@Erroneous Bosh, they are spark plug spacers, and they are used to prevent drops of oil from reaching the spark plug. The oil that gets on the spark plug does not strike the spark or causes it to strike badly. The spark plug spacers are used on high mileage engines where the piston rings are worn
@@Ego.Reficio Thanks for the explanation. I never heard of this before. But I guess it impedes the ignition process a bit...? It's kind of pre-chamber like in some diesel-engines...
@@Knilch58 It turns out to be a small impediment to ignition, especially when the spark to the spark plug is not optimal
Even then, engineers were studying the possibility of such an arrangement in order to make access for repairs as difficult as possible.

I enjoyed the video. The house and garden where it lies is beautiful. I did not see you install the fuel filter. I hope you checked the brakes before driving it. I have a 1967 Fiat 600D (with 850 engine) in USA.
Thank you! I installed the fuel filter, you can see it when I change the fuel line. For the brakes instead, fortunately no wheel was blocked. I did not check them because I only did a short ride inside the house
Very good job :)) Please tell me what these spark plug spacers were used for? The spark plug was screwed into these spacers to increase the volume of the combustion chamber and change the compression ratio to a lower one? Regards . Adam from Poland
Hi Adam, Thank you! These spacers are used to prevent oil from reaching the spark plug and damaging the spark. They were used on high-mileage engines where oil would easily rise through the cylinders and end up in the combustion chamber
@Ego.Reficio Thank you very much for your answer. This is a very radical solution, i.e. it is a separator from the oil mist that accumulates on the spark plug. I think I'd rather repair the engine :)))
You're welcome! Repairing the engine is definitely the best solution, but it’s still an expensive option and takes time. For this reason, these were also used to delay the work 😄
Mi padre la comprò nel '69, è incredibile come allora ci si andava in viaggio con tutta la famiglia di 4 persone + i bagagli sul tetto + canotto 😁💪 oggi sarebbe inconcepibile non usare un SUV da almeno 5 metri.... 😜
8 e s'impianta, la macchina che non è mai stanca
È stata la primissima macchina che ho messo in moto da solo, avevo 8 anni, ma sotto la super visione di mio zio e freno a mano molto ben tirato.
Il motore della 850 è derivato dalla fiat 600 ed ha servito le A112, 127, le 500 903cc la cosa diversa era il senso di rotazione sinistro mentre tutti gli altri destri, motori indistruttibili.
We had 2 850 coupes in NZ, I have never seen those spacers for the spark plugs...
my fiat 850 sat also for 20 years parked with a brand new engine and my grandad stole the plugs for his lada off of it and the engine seized but i have rebuilt it now. waiting on better weather so i can weld the engine bay and install the engine.
