gold28 Forums Junkie Location: Madrid - Spain Registered: August 2002	Re: 18RGU help needed urgently Thu, 03 July 2003 00:26 The Solex carbies have an inherent problem in that the venturi tubes work loose. When this happens, they run really rich and misfire and generally run like a dog. try sticking your finger down the throat of the carby and feel if the venturi tubes are loose. That had me stumped for weeks, and like you I went through the entire electrical system, carby jets etc plus multiple tune ups. I replaced the crappy grub screws and lock nuts on the bottom of the carbies (for tightening the venturi tubes) with allen key bolts and some decent size nuts. At least then you can get them reasonably tight. For anyone who has webbers on their car, I think they are keyed in, so you won't have that problem. I have only seen one set of Dellorto's and they were the same as the solex. I think the Italian made Solex (Lancia use them) are the same. [Report message to a moderator]
