Unboxing Axel's 190SL Solex Carbs

Hi. Could you make a demonstration on how seat hinges work. I am refurbishing my 190 sl of 1959 but I noticed their condition was poor

[@NabilAMRAOUI-i8m]

Hi. They look complete and not cracked. They need good service

Correct. Excellent observation. Thank you.

Hello there, i have a 1982 mazda Rx-7 with a single mikuni solex 44PHH on a 13B mazda Rotary engine, it was running well until a week ago i took it to a track day and now it seems to be rather rich at idle, ive watched a number of your technical videos and have checked and cleaned all my jets, mixture screws and they're bores and needle/seat and can confirm that the needle and seat is holding 2-2.5 psi of fuel pressure no problem, is their another component that pertains to the idle circuit im overlooking? The last week has been considerably more humid and hot than ive ever experienced the car in as i purchased it in September of 23' could the weather be effecting the carb that much?

It sound like you have covered all the bases. But JIC I have links to my Mikuni vids. You might need to contact Mikuni to get access to a variety of jets: mikuni.com/ I have not seen these carbs be that temperature sensitive. The most trouble I ever had was the main jets backing out by themselves. What I don't understand is the correlation between well before a track day and after. I don't know that the carbs would care if they were used on the street or the track. I'll ponder it a bit. Let me know if you find anything. Thanks, Will
