  1. Thanks Pete, I cleaned the carb in an ultrasonic cleaner after stripping it. I couldn't believe how much emulsified gunk was in the float chamber after it sitting for 18 months, the curse of ethanol in petrol I believe. I'll have another go this weekend.
  2. Thanks Aidan. Unfortunately the air screw has a circular circumference and not hexagonal but i'll try that.
  3. I've just rebuilt my Solex B30 and upon refitting it ran but not great. The manual states to screw the Air mixture screw all the way in then back it off 1 1/2 or two flats. What is a flat? Is one flat a 180 degree turn as the slot in the head of the screw is for a flat blade screw driver or is it a whole revolution? Thanks.
  4. Thanks Garth, that's good to know. I'm planning to take the car off the road at the end of this year to get some work done so will probably do a brake overhaul then.
  5. Thanks Eddie, new horns ordered from fleabay, will let you know how I get on.
  6. As much as I fancy a set of La Cucaracha air horns I think my mot man would have something to say about them!!
  7. It would appear that both my horns have stopped beeping, not even sure if one stopped a while ago and I hadnt noticed as they only get used at mot time! Do I need to replace both or would one do? Wiring is ok as I'm getting continuity when the horn button is pressed.
  8. I seem to remember these being hens teeth a while back, I even think I saw something in the courier about the possibility of having them relined on an exchange basis. Did this happen or has anyone started re manufacturing them?. My current set have been on for about 12-15k and whilst doing a wheel bearing today I noticed there isn't an awful lot of life left, 3-5k perhaps.
