    NOS Solex 40 PI

    Over the years I have collected all sorts of Porsche parts and some of them are like this single NOS Solex 40PI that I really do not know what to do. If there is anything unclear about surface finishes etc. here is perfect totally unused example how they should look.

    If someone is crazy enough and trying to collect full NOS set or if you can figure out something else what to do with it, please let me know.

    We all have our fetishes; it beats wearing ladies undergarments.


    Glad those days are behind me.



    BTW: I would really like to own this but when a seller doesn't list a price and tells me to make an offer I will always open with something ridiculous because... well... he said to make an offer.

    Still waiting for a counter.

    One on its one is really,,, just that, a lone orphan with little or no hope of finding a biological sibling, never mind 5.

    These were great carbs in their day,, No offset intakes etc but they were as known, problematic after time. Float issues, incorrect tube sizing and crappy throttle shaft bushings and were removed from the factory production line in favour of the Web.

    I would love to use this as a weight for my "down rigger" when catching Broadbill.

    My lead weights cost around $20 so I am prepared to up the anti in regards to weight quality and offer $25.

    I already have bookends and paper weights.

    Had to travel around, when I am working I donīt have time for forums unfortunately

    I was hoping in my small mind that maybe some perfectionist would benefit from this by getting some restoration reference etc. For me it is also a paperweight as I already have my full set assembled and I could not put this one in operation since it has already survived over 50 years, also selling it for few dollars really donīt make sense. Stupid useless part.

    Not at all,
    Someone out there will require it at some time in the future.
    I think its wonderful that people like yourself still have these parts in NOS condition hanging around our workshops and garages.
    Chin up.

    Mikkoh,

    How about we trade? My stupid useless shelf trophy for yours?
    Some scratch may need to be thrown in one way or the other.

    That`s a great looking tractor you have there, but a bit too small for my use.
