2.0l Aircooled Solex carb question...

[orangebooboobearcrew]

Hi,

Just in the process of trying to rebuild the engine in the old girl and noticed now the carbs are off that the right hand carb seems to have been plugged from the port in the centre section of the carb.

Does anyone know if this is correct or whether some clown has bodged this in the past?

I've looked through the Haynes manual and no clear photos / diagrams of the system set up. Does anyone have any such document or have photos how it should be set up if this is wrong?

Cheers,

Chris

Send them in to Steve at Gasure for a refurb.. dont waste your time trying to get them working properly.. he'll do a good job and they will work like new....

Gas sure don't do postal any more

Mine has a small (1 inch?) rubber pipe with a bung in it facing towards the bottom right of the engine bay.


But then again i can't get mine through the mot!

Thanks for responses guys.

Sorry but got no pictures at present. If the missus can find the camera charger I will try and post some.

I have thought about Gassure but don't have a lot of money to spend and thought we may be taking hundreds to have this done...?

Any other thoughts???
