Adjusting Solex Carb Idle speed

kiwi · Post by **kiwi** » Fri Aug 24, 2007 10:27 pm

Has anyone got a picture of the idle adjustment screw on a Solex Carb? Driving me nuts trying to remember where the adjuster is. I miss the webber I had fitted on my UK BXs.

Looked at the Haynes manual and section says to refer to another section which dont exist. Again I miss my older version of the Haynes manual.

Basically the 19TZS with Air Con is running at 1200 rpm ideal which is to high.

warm idle --- page 222 Fig.16.9 item 1
cold idle (fast idle) --- page 223 Fig. 16.11 item 4.

Have you still got cold start problems ?

Funny you say that yes she is a bit of a pig to start in the cold or from cold.
That also seems to be when the starter/ignition starts playing up.
