Solex 30 pict 3 tunning difficulties.

Post by KKV270 »

Hi.

Big problem. I've tried just about everything - soaking the Carb, reassembling...but the only thing that gets the Carb idle adjusting to "normal rpm" from a very high rave is the pilot jet. Only problem, at this point, the engine smokes.

All other adjustable parts do nothing to change anything. Question, what are the jet sizes I should have? I suspect that's where I may have issues from as it was a salvage Carb.
