Title: Carb Confusion - Appias Post by: simonandjuliet on 31 May, 2014, 11:20:39 AM Carb confusion I have posted this on the Appia pages as well, but maybe other "Solex" users may be able to advise ! I have 3 carbs, 2 cars and a few questions Marked on the top they are Solex 5, 6 and 7 5 is a C32 PBIC (#224465) - new 6 is a C32 PBIC (#482085) - off the 3rd ser Appia 7 is a C32 BIC (#17KZ) - new , destined for the Appia furgoncino. The questions/problems are numerous : The new carbs (5&7) have a pipe inlet and not a banjo and filter The old carb (6) appears to have the main jet broken off in the centre of the choke tube - how did it run ? Carb 5 appears not to have a central main jet They all seem to have a different array of mixer(?) tubes - one has a wide bore tube and hockey stick (6) one has a hockey stick (5) and one has neither (7) I think I can make a good carb for the furgoncino - the top from the old carb 6 on new base of 7, so I get a standard looking set up I am less worried about the "look" for the 3rd series, especially since I have added the electric pump and filter-king, so put the base from 6 with the top of 5 or 7 but with the broken main jet. Or use carb 5 - but there appears to be no main jet PS the carbs are numbered (R to L ) : 5,6,7 If anyone has got any comments or bits to help me out, I would appreciate it ! |
