Mikuni/solex Parts Availability

[seabiscuit]

Hi RollaClubbers,

 

I have a chance to buy a pair of Mikuni/Solex 40 Sidedraught Carbs for $200, although they are missing

the venturi's. I've read that parts for these brand of carburettors are quite difficult to get a hold of. Anybody

else have these carbs and have found it difficult to purchase parts for? Rebuild kits and venturi's especially!

you might be better off trying to track down another complete set of solex 40's from a 2tg, then use them and $200 ones you can get to make 1x good set and you'll have spares.

Just a suggestion. :hmm:

[seabiscuit]

I won't be using these for quite a while as I plan to put them on a 2t/3t motor in the future.

So you're suggesting to buy these set as a "parts" set and then buy a better/complete set

when it comes around and interchange parts to make a really good pair with parts to spare?

 

Is $200 fairly cheap (with an 18rg manifold I can sell)? apart from not having the venturi's

they are supposedly in good condition.

I wouldn't call it that good a price, they don't seem to go for that much anyway. My Dellortos set me back 300 bucks, jetted, with manifold.

That is a pretty damn good deal, though.

 

I think I'll pass up the carbs as I can only get them TODAY posted from Tas and I'm not keen to be disappointed.

If anyone else is interested here is the link.

This is Rodger from Toymods business

[silverra23]

Rodger is the man when it comes to Solexes.

True it was a good deal. I also meant to add that it's not uncommon to see Solexes sell for that sort of price, they don't seem to fetch as much as Dells and Webers.

[SLW42]

you got a good deal bud

 

even though a properly tuned set of solex's go just as hard as webbers or dellorto's aswell

Were is this roger bloke from is there any phone number for him ?

[parrot]

He is in the ACT. If you go to my post above, click on the link and his contact details are within his web page.

[rolesy]

I was looking for a phone number

[silverra23]

He does it as a hobby and chooses email to be his main form of communication

[parrot]

So email him and ask.

 

There's a reason why people don't splash their phone details all over the internet

Ok I will give it a go not real good on the old computer that's why I can't get pictures up on here of my ke20 it is just that I got some carbs and they were ment to b good till I was going to give them a clean and well no jets :(
