Subject: Renovation Solex PHH 44 Carbs
I will try and take some better photos of the strip down...
This is how I recieved the original carbs (two weeks ago) from my Rapide which were in the shed of the person who owned my car in 1988. The carbs I got with my car are also PHH 44 and were replaced new in 1971 - they are excellent having only been used for around 2000 miles.
So my aim is to strip down and refurbish the original carbs to make them look and work like new again, fortunately amoungst my spares I have two original Solex rebuild kits. The carbs look rough but actually are in good condition with no damage, still, they are complex and require a lot of work.
Time spent so far - around 20 hours...
