Advice needed re tuning Solex carbs on my 912.No matter how much I try to weaken them I still have sooty plugs.
Can anyone recommend a reputable tuner in the Southampton area?

Jets for Solex carbs

Hi, Does anyone have spare Idle jets size 57.5 and Main jets size 120 to fit Solex-40-P11-4 carbs as fitted to 1966 912 or lead me to a source of same. Mine were increased by a tuner but I feel she is running a bit rich, and would like to try going back to original sized jets.
Thanks.
