Thanks Mark Keep up the good work.When you have time any chance of a complete strip down and rebuild of a SOLEX carb(DYANE/2CV) At least you will have a sit down!!

[@oldnutsgarage]

Thanks Steve, a very good idea! A sit down sounds attractive and might stop me wandering off and mumbling away to myself!

Great videos! down to earth and good visuals. I have a question about the kick pinion and if it is supposed to have constant contact with the tree when the motor is running. Mine 'ticks' against it when I turn the motor over. It's in my video chanel if you can look. Mike

Hi Mike. A bit of a weird one, assuming the shafts are fully seated the only thing allowing the pinion to contact anything is spring compression. Will the kickstart lever move in or out of the cases ? Were the kickstart rubbers new? I have heard of cheap ones being too tall so the quadrant is in the wrong position. Was the pinion spring new?

The cylinder base gasket is round the wrong way
