the early solexs have 37 mm chokes the later ones have 34 mm
the later ones have better low end and mid range , better for the street..
if you want more top end put in larger chokes.. the later ones have
improved float chambers and the jets mix feul better that is if you have tha
fcatory late style solexs and not the after market ones ..
