 Re: Solexes Solexman7 wrote: Dyane6, having to use half choke is a symptom of insufficient fuel, best to check the following,
1. Remove jet (9mm spanner) and blow it out with some carby-clean or air.
2. Replace fuel pump diaphram and give pump a blow out and check the filter in the front of the pump, may need a clean.
3. Buy an adjustable jet, this also overcomes 4 stroking at high revs.
Sometimes they just need a good long run to clear out carbon deposits and other crap.
As for price, plenty in France and Germany for around 300e, just google eBay/Solex.fr about 3000 parts and bikes on this site.
cheers from down under,
Geoff Hi Did all of the above except the adjustable jet. Never seen one on web shops - plenty of bigger jets up to 31 If anybody has a link to an adjustable jet - thank you
