I’m told these Solex carbs came from a stock European delivered 914. Anyone have any info?

they are off a bus.
us version. i just googled it. the extra solonoid is something to do with EGR or early pollution gear in USA. the euro stuff never had a carb like that one with the extra bit hanging off it. euro 411s ran that as twin carbs as well but not with that weirdness that is on one of them. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/driving.gif) this is what the euro 914 1.8s ran. don't think they are that easy to find. think the story is normally were on a type 4 VW industrial motor! (yikes the euro 914 was a truck engine (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) ) i did a bit of poking around a few years back on the old AN engine front and had this on file. don't think there are any of these carbs floating around in aus. i did have a look around a few years back (was a back up plan in case my L jet did not come out of its coma (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) ) might be a few in some back yard sheds in germany?   |
