carburetor rebuild

[newto912]

I am about to remove my Solex carbs from the 912
once cleaned up and ready to put back together do you use any gasket sealant?
also some forums mention lubricating , presumable the various external linkages, any recommendations on what to lube with
thanks

When I did my webers for my 911 assembly was dry.
I lubricated all the small bearing surfaces/links with a drop of engine oil.(as in a drop)

Same here - never used any type of sealant with the gaskets.

As for lubricating the linkages I use a small amount of copper grease on the balljoints & light (eg sewing machine) oil on the pivots, etc.

Some good pictures here on Bruce's site http://www.sparkingplugs.com/5.html

I've never worked on solex carbs but understand they can be a bit tricky if the shafts are worn.

Thanks guys
just taken one apart and its in the ultrasonic cleaner
job to remember how it all goes back together even with pics , so will reassemble as I disassemble the other
should have sussed it by then!
