My Solex tends to drain itself after a couple of days too. Time to check
that pump linkage. I seem to get quite a bit of seepage from around the to
cover too. Could this be an imporperly set float?
My SII has always smoked quite a bit under heavy throttle. Blackish smoke
just as I get to 2500 - 3000 rpm in 3rd before the upshift to fourth. Going
up hills at highway speeds will produce quite a bit of smoke too. It is
noticable at night in the headlight beam of following cars. I imagine that
this could be caused by a too rich mixture? Is this adustable in any way?
Could there be other causes? The choke (or cold start circuit in a Solex)
is completely off once warmed up.
I posted a question a couple of weeks ago about the loss of power that I had
experienced over the last couple of months. A new Lucas distributor cap
from Wise Owl solved the problem nicely. I like cheap fixes. Thanks for
everyones input! :-)
