Type 4 - Solex carb linkage part

Discussion in 'Mech Tech' started by Markpc, May 4, 2013.

  1. I'm having a problems in sync'ing my dual Solex carbs.

    The left one is 'opening' more that the right, and I've run out of adjustment to the rhs linkage, it's as short as it will go. I'm measuring airflow at 2.5k rpm with a unisyn.

    So I think the problem is that I'm missing part 35 in the diagram on the following post:

    I think the crossbar is sitting too low, it's not central on the lhs 'ball'.

    I've got the spring but not the bush. Does anyone know where I can get one from? I've tried all the usual suspects and no luck!
     
  2. You'll probably have to get one made out of nylon...

  4. Brilliant, thanks a lot for the replies.

    I'll get the brass one ordered. Hopefully I'll eventually get the carbs running properly!
