We pull Moskvich-407 out of oblivion

"Revival" of the old car – is always an exciting moment. Because there is a leap in time: we are touching the past, at least a little. And this time we have to start the engine of the seemingly finished “Moskvich-407”. It is not an easy task, but it will be handled by professional enthusiasts from the Combat Crew channel. We somehow already told about the restoration of a car of a similar model. But such a "reanimation" engine start is a strictly "individual" process: that is why it arouses genuine interest.

What do we have? A half-rusty car, standing dejectedly in the withered grass. We open the hood - all the units are in place, except for the battery. True, it is not yet known what condition they are in. But in the cabin, only the most important things remain - the pedals and the steering wheel. An inspection from the outside shows that this example is not as rusty as it initially seemed. However, first of all, we are interested in the power unit.

The wiring leaves much to be desired: for now we connect the installed battery directly to the starter. And to our surprise, it began to spin the crankshaft. This means the engine is not jammed, which is already good news. We move on to restoring the ignition system and fuel supply: nothing new has been invented here. But we have “found” a spark, and gasoline also enters the carburetor and cylinders. Will it start? And if so, will it drive? Watch the video with us and find out!
