peachy 0 Posted January 20 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 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bowie69 563 Posted January 20 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. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
secondjeremy 6 Posted January 21 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.
