15. Cleaning the fuel filter and installing it with a new copper washer.
16. Replacing the old choke lever return spring.
17. Precisely adjusting the floats using the A1.2712 float adjustment tool, ensuring the dot on the floater aligns with the line on the adjustment tool or adjusting to a specific distance of 18mm from the center of the float to the gasket surface.
18. Moving to the other half of the carburetor and removing the accelerator pump.
19. Removing the idle mixture screw and idle jet.

29. Applying grease around the O-ring and inserting the accelerator jet into the carburetor body.
30. Installing the accelerator pump spring and diaphragm with the cover, tightening the screws evenly.
31. Testing the functionality of the accelerator pump jet by filling the float bowl with brake cleaner or fuel, ensuring the spray pattern does not hit the venturi's side.
32. Reinstalling the top of the carburetor with the six screws, noting that the choke valve should be fully open at this stage.
33. Using the longer screw in the corner where the choke cable bracket must be installed.
34. Ensuring all screws are tightened evenly.
35. Installing the choke vacuum pump cover plate with the gasket and the two Allen head screws.
36. The final step involves applying lubricant, such as -A1.4935-, to the axles.

We all love the 2CV.
The 2CV is to cars what bread is to food -- it's a baseline.
Wouldn't it be great if it could go back into production, giving millions of people this transportation option?
Citroen AMI:
The usual response to that wish is that it's impossible because the 2CV can't pass safety regulations. But here's a loophole for that: Citroen itself is selling a car called the Ami, which is legally a "quadracycle" -- I guess that's a motorcycle with 4 wheels. The Ami itself uses the 2CV logo on its grill (see this article called "The Electrek review: This tiny Citroën Ami microcar is just weird enough to work". )
Here's a quote about it's being designated as a quadracycle, "It’s technically considered to be a quadricycle, a type of vehicle classification in Europe that falls somewhere between a motorcycle and a standard car. That helps it thread the needle of low cost and low regulations while still offering much the feeling of an actual car. It may not have a dozen airbags like some cars (or even one airbag), but you weren’t planning on hitting anything anyway, right?"
"Largely an artisanal procedure":
Here's an article about when the 2CV was produced in Iran: "Citroën Saipac 2CV, Jiane Sedan, Jiane Pickup and Mehari". It describes the manufacturing as "largely an artisanal procedure", i.e., they are hand assembled. ... That means a high school kid can put one together in their back yard (!). How many millions of high school kids wouldn't consider that as an option for their first car???
Burton 2CV Parts:
This place in The Netherlands -- Burton 2CV parts -- has several videos about putting together a whole 2CV with purchased parts. They don't come out and say it -- but it's hard not to make that conclusion: "You can build your own 2CV!"
Modded 2CV: 720cc - speed machine!
Can the 2CV hold its own on a highway? This video makes it look like it can: Modded 2CV: 720cc - speed machine! (channel is Hub Nut). It talks about some minor-looking improvements to the spark-advance, giving it highway-capable speeds.
Rust is a problem? Here is a video about hot-dipping the whole body in zinc: Fully Zink coated body!! The daily driver citroën 2cv6 real solution against rust restoration. 2cv
^^ a hot-dipped zinc-coated 2CV will last a lifetime or more, in terms of rust.
ARGENTINA: 2CVs used to be made in Argentina, and now it has an extremely free-market president and administration. I bet Argentina would embrace re-introduction of the 2CV with open arms. (And its mostly a flat, mild-weather country -- it should do well there.)
Let's figure out a way to get this back into production and make it a transportation option for millions.

Thank you, it will help me a lot in the restoration of my 2cv that I'm doing on my youtube channel.

[@jjt1234]

What a fantastic lesson!!Over the top.

[@DSanzobo]

Excelente! Muy instructivo el video. Saludos de Argentina

[@mdasilvac]

Thanks for the informative video! BTW, why do you remove the choke pump altogether?

[@obbalucha7550]

Why don't you change the filter, too? Often bended. Or in this case it has the old copper mesh which can be dissolved by alcohol! We helped a French guy on his way to the Polish world meeting- The copper plate in the added "Fuelsaver" was gone and blocked the jets! Then you're saying that the kit works for 21/24, too. This is wrong: Citroen used 10 different types of main carb seals on the Solex 26/35! Some extra holes might have to be drilled- otherwise the 2cv (AMI; Dyane) won't run correctly. Always check the seals if they are identical! And the music is horrible ;-)

[@club2cvyderivadosmallorca132]

Muchas gracias por este nuevo vídeo.
Genial!!!!

[@kai1234763]

How to adjust the float level with the gauge could be better explained.

[@emiliennnn04]

Super vidéo très instructive 👌
