Hi I have just taken apart a solex carb that was on my other halfs car. It is a 69 912 unit in a speedster. The carb was abit grubby and it had a few probs with running rich. so I bought a rebuild kit from the USA and it arrived this morning so I set to it.
The Problem is ........ That I took it all apart and I have 4 jets left over that I don' t know where they go.!!!
they are both in pairs so
1 pair are marked 0.7
and the other marked 1.1 or what looks like 1.1 ( they have a bigger hole any way)
So which are the idling air bleed the ones marked 0.7 or the ones marked 1.1
and the same for the other holes which are the choke fixing bleed
are these 1.1 or 0.7
let me know cheers

also has any one had a problem with the top plate of the carb not sealing with the main housing I took the top off again and it looks like the fuel has traveled along and not sealed.
Also while i am on carbs the float needle do you use the thick 2mm copper washer or the 1mm fiber washer??
