After being ripped off twice by eBay Seller's, I'm desperate to purchase a set of Reasonable Solex Carb's to finish the restoration of my XS1, Is there anyone with a Half descent set willing to sell and :bike:send to me in the UK. Please pretty please.:bike:
 
Boy, they're lining up around the block. Rare as hen's teeth.
Anyway, here's some info to help with ID'ing these things. There's a couple of 'tells', like the enrichener pickup tube being on the LEFT side, 2 enrichener valves, and the interconnecting metal band.

I think the set I have are these, I'd be willing to trade for a set of carbs... Like Mikuni VM34/6's if possible.
 
I have a set that need some work done on them. In 2manys Fish file, Part no's 56, (lever assembly), and associated parts and no 52 are missing. The threads in the body for the Pan head screw, (part no 57), seem to be there.

I have never had these apart, the slides slide down slowly then drop the last 5-10mm

If interested PM me......................Pics below. Double click on them and then click to enlarge

I'm planning on installing different carbs on my XS2 this weekend, and already even shot photos of the stock carbs I was planning on selling. Carbs are coming off of a running bike. Let me know what you think!

Cheers,
Cody
