[Roadsters] Solex troubles

[Gary and Cindy Ault]

Daniel,

Contact Wolf Creek Racing.  I believe they are the US distributor for Mikuni carburetors (mostly motorcycle business these days), but they do service Mikuni/Solex carbs.

 Any suggestions on what would
 cause a Solex (late style with only a couple thousand miles
 on them) to run fine on full choke, but be unable to stay
 running with the choke off?  I figure something may be
 blocked.  For reasons beyond my control the car
 received almost no use for a couple years.  When
 started occasionally it ran fine until this month.  I
 siphoned out the old fuel and refilled with new gas plus
 some dry gas to be sure. I blew out the fuel line, replaced
 the fuel filter, and removed the carbs and cleaned the jets,
 etc.  The one thing I didn’t remove is the float
 bowl cover because it was stuck and I didn’t want to
 ruin the gaskets unless I had replacements in hand.The engine has only a few
 thousand miles on a complete rebuild.  Any suggestions will be
 greatly appreciated.Thanks / Dan’68 Solex
