So this junker/roller I just bought has a 1.7 with dual Solex carbs. I've got webbers on mine, but whice are better? Are the Solex worth anything? Better than the webbers?

They may be single barrel Solexes (two of 'em), with a Euro manifold, which they used on the Euro 1.8s. If so, they're not bad street carbs. They have chokes, are easier to sync, and are probably more than adequate for a 1.7.
If they're Solex PIIs (look like IDFs) then, as MikeZ says, the 356 crowd will like them, as will the 912 crowd. The 356/912 types happily pay $800 to have a set fully rebuilt, which I think is insane. The early models had a solid throttle shaft for both throats, and no other way to balance airflow through the throats. Later models got a split throttle shaft with a big adjuster block between the throats. They're no real improvement over your IDFs, and parts and rebuild kits are harder to source for them. |
