Subject: Re: Solex Carbs verses SU
Sorry, I can't give any useful guidence as to why one of your 44's is flooding when going downhill. My knowlegde of these carbs is theoretical and I know how to rebuild them. I assume as you let you foot off the accelerator the carbs are not restricting the fuel flow adequately, the float chamber valve?

Personnally I would not change them to SU's as when working correctly I believe they are very reliable. I also think that they're one of the distinctive parts of the Rapide which set it apart from the rest.
