Solex Idle Mixture Screw

rich72gt · 08-13-2004

I just rebuilt my Solex in my '72 GT and come to find out I don't have the idle mixture screw or the spring(in the throttle plate-left threaded hole that looks stripped to me). I probably need one huh? Where can I get it? I don't see it on OGTS site, but I could ask 'em.
Thanks for your help.
I know----it's a Solex, but it's mine!

I'll look in my pile of Solex parts and see what I've got. I need a little more info on the spring and plate you are looking for.

Never mind, I reread your post and I will see if I have an entire throttle section available. I'll get back to you this weekend or Monday

thanks for looking, someone made the link from the throttle plate to the carb out of wire, it doesn't look like they knew what they were doing.

I can send you a complete Solex. It is a parts only Carb. I noticed there are 2 styles of throttle plates. They appear interchangable. One has a small fuel mixture screw and the other has a large mixture screw. The one I can send you has the small mixture screw. PM me your address and I can ship it to you. Your cost, shipping only since I now run a weber.
