Solex Carbs

Post by rwh1000 »

Hi i finally bought my 912!
It needs a full restoration which i am doing myself :?

I have everything stripped - crank about to be sent away etc, but my first question (of many) - who can supply me with a refurb kit (gaskets etc) for my solex carbs?? and some expert advice on them would be great
Thanks

I've bought a kit from 356 Carburettor Rescue in the USA which were great, but i'm sure Roger Bray / Maxted-Page & Prill also do nice kits.

If you can see light around the throttle plates when you hold the carbs up and look from the bottom then you will need more than a carb kit to get them to run right. The will need machine work.
