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.<br><br>

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