    These Solexes need a little help

    Sometimes I get jobs looking like they were salvaged from the Titanic; this is one of those times:

    LOL

    And what is he proposing you do with those?

    Looks like he needs to buy the manifolds that were posted here last week.

    Throttle bodies pretty bad due to seized shafts and every screw would need exacting mill work to extract, a real PITA. Most parts pitted very badly as well. Not much economical sense to rescue, not to mention sourcing scarce replacement parts. Perhaps another 20 years and these would be attractive.

    I wonder if J. C. Whitney has any "Carburetor New" like their "Moto New" that rebuilds your engine while you drive?

    I would love to own those and just keep them in a glass case showing Porsche people why they need to move to AZ.

    I have a set that's ready to go or cores... but air filter snorkels would need to be in the trade.
