[Roadsters] 2000 Solex Carb expert, rebuilder? (other idea)

[Eric]

There is a small brass blanking plug that closes off a drillway in the 
cold start circuit on the old carbs. Sometimes it leaks and there's no 
way you can tune this out without fixing it. The symptom is that the 
engine runs rich on one cylinder. It can be fixed with a small brass 
drift and <light> hammer tap or two. I have seen several old-style carbs 
with this problem and it is easy to fix. The diagnosis is the hard bit.
