Solex 30/3 Pict Replacement

[gilbo]

I have a '71 early bay with standard engine. Been having issues with the carb and feel the time is right to replace. Any recommendations on the best replacement option and where to buy?

I would either send yours of to be rebuild or do it yourself.
Or source a good 2nd hand solex replacement.
Aftermarket replacements can be a bit hit and miss due to the poor quality.

riverhaus all day, they refurb solex on exchange basis with great service

alternative quality is code for shite quality :msn4:

and the carb in the link isn't the same as yours

Agree on the quality - have ordered a recon Solex carb from machine7. It's a Solex 34 pict 3. This is should work fine on my engine (AE number) and should give an improvement in performance.

Thanks for the responses.

Is your engine twinport then? I presumed it was single as you said current carb was 30/3. I think you'd need adaptor to fit...

machine7 carb are expensive, I payed 180 for my recon solex

It's a twin port with an adapter for the current carb. Can't speak highly enough about machine7 at the moment. They've really helped me navigate through this. Thanks for the response.
