Solex 34 pict 3 won’t run on choke

  1. Hi, I have a problem when starting from cold. If I try and start with the choke on it will just turn over and flood the engine, if it does eventually start it runs like crap. After 2 mins of driving it runs great. I’ve adjusted the choke but more choke makes it worse. If I don’t have choke on at all when cold it starts and idles fine, as soon as I put the choke on it runs like crap again.

    any ideas?

    Too much choke for the summer. The full choke setting is for the artic circle, just set a bit for the UK. As you found, you barely need it and really then only in the winter.
     
    Lasty, Paul Matthews and mikedjames like this.

    Wind it back a bit by slacking off the three screws and turning the whole mechanism anti clockwise (I think !)
    That's assuming everything else is good with your carb ....
