Subject: Re: Renovation Solex PHH 44 Carbs
Hi Christian, Glad it's going well still!
My car's carbs were rebuilt by Burlen Services of Salisbury if I recall, came back really well but not cheap! Some of the minor castings are mazak and very vulnerable, especially those with threads in them like the top plate where the fuel enters. I've had to cannibalise my spare set to stop leaks etc. They are also quite tricky to set up properly but once done they should hold their settings for ages; the effect of the main jets coming in around 3000-3500 rpm is very marked in terms of engine performance
Regards, David
