no one knows... bugger!

oh well

part two of the problem

can someone with a solex that is working well check the accelerator pump link setup as i would like to know if the split pin is inside or outside the accelerator pump lever

it faces the front of the vehicle directly underneath where the fuel inlet resides

mine is outside the lever and it seems to be doing naught.

as per attached pic

Your setup looks correct.The critical part is the thickness of the washers between the spring and the lever.There should be a gap of 0.5mm between the lever and the washer(s),according to my manual. W.

P.S A book worth having is :Operation-Service-Tune up-Overhaul British Solex
Carburetters. ISBN 0-903192-70-5

I'm not sure if that 0.5mm gap should be measured with the butterfly valve fully closed.(the idle adj.screw turned out.) W.
