Only thing I know about the solex II cam is that it's 296 degrees duration
(seat to seat) and .475" valve lift. The B can is 280 and .460". I just
got a Crower cam that's a bit more radical and it is ground on a B cam so
the base circle must be smaller. If the solex II is also ground on a B cam
then you may need to do something about the cam lobe wipe pattern on the
rockers. Only way to tell for sure is to install it and check the pattern.
If it falls off the rocker you'll need to use thicker lash pads.

Subject: Solex II cam
Does anybody have information about the Solex II cam? Specifically I am
wondering about the differences between it and the B-cam. What kind of
power
output should I expect? Is there any modification required to the head or
pistons to use this cam? Will it work well with the stock compression
ratio?
I got the 23x9.5x15 Hoosier slicks mounted on the Centerline wheels and
installed on Tetanus. I had to use wheel spacers and longer studs. The
studs
are Moroso brand and I had to turn down the knurl a bit on the lathe to make
them fit the hubs. I tack welded the studs in the hubs to keep them from
turning while torqueing the lug nuts. I also had to cut the tops off the
mag
style lug nuts so that the longer studs can poke through. I also had to
drill
a hole in the backing plate of the rear drums to insert the longer studs.
You
can see pictures of Tetanus with the slicks installed at my picturetrail
site.

Does anyone have reccomendations for air pressures on Hoosier R45 slicks?
Thanks,
