So off the car went to the rolling road. It took them about 20 mins to realise that there was a problem with the Solex's :(
They believe that the butterflys are not making a complete seal thus air is getting sucked in creating the flat spot in the 2300-2700 rev range. So really my only option is to get the carbs refurbished. I have spoken to Fenn Autosports in Nuneaton who seem to know their stuff but I would like to know if anyone has any thoughts or experiences of their work ?. Thanks for your help and hope your all enjoying your 912's in the sun !!!
Message Chris Turner/womble912 who recently had their Solex refrubished by Fenn.
