[QUOTE="Termite, post: 577248, member: 15709"] I've taken those jets out twice now and are definitely clean. One thing you've mentioned that I haven't done is set the throttle screw against WITH the choke removed. I've done it with the choke in place and held the butterfly open while I set the screw. I guess there's an outside chance that's caused a problem? The three holes at the base of the carb, should any of those be exposed when the throttle screw is set, or does the carb just rely on fuel running down the side of that butterfly? I have two more Solex 34 PICT 3 carbs in a box. One has been a donar at somepoint as there's bits missing from it. The other is one I boxed that I was going to send away for refurb a few years back as it was leaking fuel and letting air in round the throttle spindle. I have since got some brass bushes, so I might have a go at cleaning that one out at the weekend, fitting the rubuild bits to it and trying that on the van. At least I know that carb was once on the van itself and I've driven it while it was on there. [/QUOTE]
