peachy Posted January 20, 2019 Share Posted January 20, 2019 Hello question, is the solex carburetor on a 2.25l series 2 not considered good? Seems well built ! I read some negative comments on the weber, supposedly there restrictive and need a adapter. I tried to rebuild my solex on my series 2 with a kit from bearmach but the accelerator pump gasket/diaphragm was not included. Pretty disappointed. Is it worth trying to source a new accelerator pump diaphragm or just try finding a new carburetor? I hear the su carburetor is supposed to be quite good. Appreciate any advice Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bowie69 Posted January 20, 2019 Share Posted January 20, 2019 I never had much luck at all with the solex, new or old. I fitted a 1.75" SU and loved it, better absolutely everywhere, never looked back. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
secondjeremy Posted January 21, 2019 Share Posted January 21, 2019 Burlen Fuel Systems make diaphragms and other parts for the Solex. I've used their parts a number of times and they're good. I replaced the float chamber gasket on a Solex with a cheap one I purchased somewhere (not Burlen) and the choke wouldn't work at all. There was a hole missing in the gasket - Burlen gasket and it was fine. http://burlen.co.uk/ Look under Zenith Soles works nicely with new diaphragms and seems far less temperamental than the later Zenith.
