Wanted Solex carb for 1600cc engine

messerschmitt owner · Post by **messerschmitt owner** » Wed Jun 29, 2011 2:32 pm

A friend of mine with a Pug 305 has a knackered carb and his car (one of 170 left) is going nowhere without a decent solex carb - same as fitted to the 1580 petrol BX engine and I believe the 205 1.6.

Can anyone help?

If so, PM me and he will be eternally grateful

Me! I have one for a 16TRS auto, which will fit, no manifold though, I was keeping as a spare BUT if it he is desperate then fine.

Have emailed Jon your address. He'll be happy as his 305 is dead until he gets a carb It is a nice one too - an estate in orangey red.
He is up in Manchester so not too far away.

Nice one Tim. I happen to rather like the aforementioned 305 so it'll be great to see it running sweetly again.

Jon has sent an e-mail and wonders if his salford uni e-mail address is going into the junk mail box?
