Hello Opelers,

I have a '67 Kadett L 1.1 L stationwagon that has been sitting in my garage for quite a while. It was running well a few years back until the the carb cracked. I tried finding another Solex but had no luck. I was convinced by a friend to put in a VW Type 3 carb, which he did with some modification. It ran ok for a few weeks but then I noticed that the was not running like I wanted so I left it in the garage until further notice. I was finally able to find a Solex for it. I replaced it as soon as I could, but realized that my friend did not give me back the original throttle mechanism so I have not been able to drive it. So if any of you have one (mechanism from the the firewall to the carb) and willing to let it go, please let me know. I would like take my wagon out this summer, hopefully. Thank you all!!

Mr Rodney Killingsworth

I was fortunate to meet Mr Killingsworth as he passed by El Paso about 15 years ago offering me what I needed to get my wagon running at that time, which I was beyond grateful. I have mentioned to Mr K about the need for the throttle mechanism, but I have not heard from him for quite a while. Just wondering if he is ok.......
