Re: 96 Triple Carbs Spitting Fuel Out the Top Posted by MI-Roger [Email] (#882) [Profile/Gallery] (more from MI-Roger) on Wed, 11 Nov 2020 15:42:50 In Reply to: 96 Triple Carbs Spitting Fuel Out the Top, Ken from MI, Sun, 8 Nov 2020 16:26:23 Members do not see ads below this line. - Help Keep This Site Online - Signup |
Solex carbs were used on many European brand cars sold in the US in the 1960's, including VW and Porsche. Rebuild kits for the larger single Solex used on my engine afe offered by Amazon and eBay sellers in addition to SAAB Parts Houses. I don't know your carb's M/N to verify but I expect they are available too.
But are all three carbs identically bad? Possible after 35 years in a field I suppose. Or is there some other common fault. Is fuel pressure within spec? An incorrect fuel pump may have been installed by a previous owner. Is excess fuel pressure causing a 'spurt' from the carbs when the throttle is rapidly closed?
