I have scanned a copy of the parts manual image
for European (German or Italian made) Solex 45 mm.
These carbs are what were used by anyone from Alfa
to Volvo. The German made had slightly larger diameter
jets than the Italian made. Otherwise they are possible
to replace with Weber DCOE or Dellorto DHLA. Jets are
almost impossible to find here anymore for these Solex.
