Hi all,

anyone know were to get a replacement mine is past its sell by date, well worn.

i have a stock 1983/84 1900 water cooled DF petrol engine with stock vac advance running to the carb, Is there any other carbs that will work on my t25,would like to keep with the vac advance on the carb working.

sorry i just cannot find a replacement anywhere. i believe it was the last solex vw used before switching over to the dg engine with the pierburg carb on it.............

cheers for any reply

worn in what sense? If its the throttle shaft, Roger Ball in Clacton (essex) rebushes them

sorry the idle keeps dropping after you adjust the carb, two different people told me the adjusting screw on the side of the carb.
keeps moving, sorry again im not too technical,
cheers

Yep, usually because the throttle shaft is worn. When its that bad, you'll struggle to get a consistent idle, if at all because the fuel air ratio keeps changing with air being sucked through tiny gaps around this shaft. What Roger does is remove the shaft, check it for true, run it in his lathe to ensure theres a smooth finish then make phosphor bronze bushes to match = snug fit. You'll find its a piece of cake to set the idle then. Its about the only part that wears on those.

Can PM you his number if you want to drop it off to him. Depends where you are in Essex I suppose. He may be able to do it while you wait and he's not expensive. Otherwise, if it IS the screw, theres normally a rubber O ring in there to stop it coming loose.9 times out of ten the shaft is worn though. Roger would be able to sort either/both.

I know yours isn't a Pierberg but thats where his number is.

I'd get yourself a carb repair kit if its not been overhauled in a long time. Roger won't supply that bit.
