Hi!
I'm refurbishing a Solex 40PA10-5 carb for a 1964 Series II and noticed a strange copper tube near the inlet manifold flange. The previous owner has cut the tube and attempted to plug the stump with a piece of heat shrink tubing and a nail . See attached picture.
Anyway, I can't find a single picture or reference that explains the purpose of this tube. Since I don't have access to the car myself, it's difficult to see what was connected at the other end.
Any input would be appreciated.
Br,
Einar

G'day Einar,
The tube in the photo is part of the vacuum advance circuit.
This tube goes to the vacuum advance diaphragm on the ignition distributor.
It is important and necessary for the operation of the ignition system.
The port in the Solex is a metric thread M6 x 1.00 and you use an olive on the tubing to seal the connection. The tubing is 0.125" (inch) diameter.
The part number for the tube nut is 260707. They are made of steel and break often and probably you will have to make one out of hex stainless steel.
Good luck
Chris
