Lovely! Who did the work? Duel or other?

Hi Lars, I popped over to see Chris last weekend (we're local), he's making some lovely parts. He's almost re-made everything bar the carb bodies and jet pack carrier, top work. It's nice to know we won't be running out of spares anytime soon.

Chris is on here, I'm sure he'll chime in.

Yes chris have done a super work with a lot of new spareparts for the Solex Pi 40 and he have done a super job on my carbs as well.

Nice!

Is he remaking the floats?

Hi John

I have not heard of any who makes new floats, but you can dry the original out , so they weigh 7 grams, and if you return the gasoline to the tank, you can run without the float, it all depens thoug if yoy run stock engine 130 hk with one elect. bendix pump and one mecanical pierburg pump, or you go the race set up with 3 elect. pump.

If one runs without floats, try filling the float chamber with fuel cell material. This dampens the sloshing of fuel in the chambers when driving hard. This is an old Baja trick that really improves driveability.
