I'm deep into trying to return my '65 build 911 back to SOLEX carburetors but as usual it isn't as simple as it might seem.
First problem is that it looks like the engine cover has been changed at some stage. It fits OK with the Weber carbies but fowls on the Solex float bowl on the RH bank. My research tells me the original hasn't got the extra duct that feeds air down to the font of the RH cylinder bank.
Does anyone have a mould off an original cover or know where I can get one, short of importing one from Tuthill's or the like in the UK?
Next problem is the short plastic ended linkages which go from the throttle linkage to the butterfly of each individual carbie. Six in total with a thumb wheel adjustment. I have searched evrywhere without any luck.
The other problem is these linkages are abit special as they fit a 6mm ball end and have an M5 adjusting rod. Standard linkages of this type that fit an M5 rod, have an 8mm dia ball end.
All and any suggestion would be greatly appreciated.
Yours in desperation
