Solex Carby

Is anyone out there running the standard Solex PAIA? If so, can you tell me if it uses an oval rubber gasket between the carby and airfilter (like my Vogue III does) and if so, whether these are available anywhere?

Thanks, Vic

Hi Vic,

Before my conversion to the Dellorto side draughts, my car ran the original Tecalemit air cleaner assembly. It has the oval carby adaptor with sealing ring. The air cleaner originally had the two inlet pipes approximately 200mm long, but a previous owner cut them back. If you PM me with your email address, I will take a photo and send it to you. I was thinking about putting it out with hard rubbish, so if you would like it, it's yours for the delivery cost to you.

Regards, Robin.
