I wouldn't buy anything larger than 32 mm.
Is that the measurement at the bottom of the carb into the plenum?

It's the measurement of the choke within the barrel. Look closely for any markings on the carb for clues.[url=https://classicgoldwings.com/forum/viewtopic.php?p=191820#p191820:3rlron3y said:cmyoch » 2 minutes ago[/url]":3rlron3y]

A real Solex carb you will probably not have a problem with them and they can be rebuilt over and over again as long as the body isn't broken. But there are several after market makers that make a "solex" look alike and, well, the quality isn't the same. I have been monkeying around with some idle issues on mine for the last several weeks and I am pretty sure that my problems stem from the fact that I have one of these less the spec generic types.
What I have found with this set-up, idle was/is the hardest thing to get correct. Anything after idle, the carb is adjusted perfectly and the motor just pulls like a train. I took the easy way out and bought a used setup with a pre-manufactured manifold. I will probably be buying another carb sometime in the future because I intend to put this on my 87 when I have the 84 back on the road again.

Gee I have to look now how I did the cable on my solex. Been so long.

Brian, we must have the same manifold. This one is coming with the adapter for the cable. You said earlier that I should avoid the Chinese variant of the carb. Are you having any issues?
My Solex is a clone of an old style Jeep and connects to the carb with a built in clamp and set screw dealio. I think it's throttle hookup to the more common Solex being referenced by others is much different and may not help.[url=https://www.classicgoldwings.com/forum/viewtopic.php?p=192534#p192534:3vzqrm80 said:cmyoch » Yesterday, 7:09 pm[/url]":3vzqrm80]

If you get time, would you let me know how your's is set up? The manifold doesn't arrive until Thursday which also is the day we are leaving for a week's vacation. It will be mid July before I get to this. I'll have the carb bought sometime and sitting here waiting for me also.
I'm debating purchasing an older carb and a rebuild kit or a new one.

Where does one buy a new real solex?
