Rebuilding the Solex carburettor on the Saturn

May 2, 2024

The Solex Carburettors on the Saturn were also water cooled/heated this of course meant there was corrosion.  Luckily we had two carburettors, one from her original motor and one on the donor vehicle.  The base plate on one of the carburettors was rotted out and the valve on the other Solex was corroded.  Therefore both were cleaned and like what was fast becoming common place with this build it took both cars to make one functioning carburettor.  Once fitted to the motor she was running smoothly and working like a charm.
