guys, I'm planning to change the warped Solex 4A1 in my '73 280S and I found a used Solex 4A1 in Banaue last Saturday before going home in Cebu (I attended my grandma's wake and burial at Fairview, QC with my Mom and I took some time to search one and I arrived in Cebu on Monday). They're selling me for 12,000 pesos, Is this too much? Also I got the chance to see that Solex and it...

The trip to the funeral at Chatswood today was the first long trip since the new diff was fitted. Travelled very well but it got a little warmer than I'd like. The engine is a twin Solex 504 but still with the new 404 radiator. What is the next size up that will fit and increase the volume of coolant.? Years back we used Commodore rads in 504s but the battery in Peppi sits much ...

I've done only the basic adjusting of the idle screws to try and correct this running too rich issue....the Jeep actually runs pretty well these days after having a REAL Weber put on (as opposed to the Solex knockoff that WAS on there), but this Weber has been through three different "Jeep" mechanics now, all the appropriate work has been done for her to run right (Holley FPR installed, vaccuum ...

The alfa romeo giulietta gold portfolio from brooklands explains on page 20 and 21 that the solex can be setup differently with the result that both the primary and auxiliary throats open synchonously. This gives better performance results. 0 to 50 goes from 9.2s to 8.2s Anyone experience with this?
