Solex Carbs

I've been offered a set of Solex 40 carbs for an extremely reasonable price...

Anyone used them, as last time I came across them they were on an Alfa and a complete pig to tune...

Webers seem too much money, and in all honesty I'd prefer Dell'Ortos..!


Cheers

Avoid them, getting parts for the solex sidedraughts is not easy.

Cheers Mike

Parts aren't normally a problem - Mikuni and Dell'Orto stock most of the standard gaskets, chokes and bleed screws etc.

Pair of Dell'Orto 50s would be nice tho...

Cheers
