Hello,
I bought a set of Solex's from an old auto repair shop here in SF. They
fixed old Japanese cars and had some old parts laying around. Anyway, I was
able to buy a set of Roadster Solex's and manifold that he had in a box with
some other carb parts.
I was wondering if the Solex guru's of the list would be able to help me
determine what the differences are between the early and later Solex's. So
here is what I have...
On the "old" Solex's the reference numbers are as follows:
On top of the carbs the words are, "Solex, Mikuni Kogyo"
Underneath the cover the jets read, "60 - 250 - 250 -60"
Underneath the floats the jet reads, "160"
On top of the Barrel it says, "Solex N PHH-2"
Inside the barrell near the butterfly I saw a number, "37"
On the butterflys the number reads, "175"
Okay, here are some questions.
1. Do I have appropriate jets for daily driving and occassional track work?
2. Will my jets from the newer Solex's fit on this set of carbs?
3. I dont see the size of the carbs anywhere. Any idea what they are?
4. Should I connect two sets of choke springs or just use one?
5. Manifold. Can I use the same manifold that I currently run with?
He told me that these Solex's were designed to run alittle richer at top end
which gave alittle more power up top. True...?
