Solex 34 pict 4 service and rebuild attempt
Thought I would take off the Carb on my ct engine and service/rebuild it. ( all of a sudden I had an issue with it whilst driving under load it would drive fine, let off the accelerator to start braking it would cut out.) Got it off no problem, watched Sarrans video on YouTube….think I’m just going ...

Re: 1980 T3 1600 ct stalling problems
Just to add, what I mean by under braking what I mean is that when not depressing the throttle o not reviving the engine. And then braking for a junction it will cut out. Very confused by how this problem can just instantly develop. I am leaning towards idle speed and possibly needing a carb clean a...

Re: 1980 T3 1600 ct stalling problems
Apologise for the late reply. Thanks for the advice, I wondered if it was more of a carb related issue given the age of the old girl.

1980 T3 1600 ct stalling problems
Hi folks. My 1600 air cooled ct engine had started to stall under braking and generally not idling very well. Only just developed the stalling under breaking the other day half way in to the journey. Nothing visually obvious but wondered if there were any things I should try first before cleaning an...

Poxy horn!
Hi everyone Been ages since I’ve been on the forum. The van needs an mot and the only thing I know it will fail on for sure is the horn. Had to change the steering couplings last year for the mot and managed to bugger the wiring up. Got it bodge to pass and then almost instantly on leaving the test ...

Re: 1600 ct engine failed on emissions
Apologies I am not sure I have been clear. It failed it’s mot on emissions. The mechanic then adjusted the co screw to what he said was factory setting. It then passed the emissions test but now stalls on idle. So he will adjust it again. I don’t really know what the co screw does so I will read the...

Re: 1600 ct engine failed on emissions
Thank you.
It was the co screw that was adjusted. Do I dare or shall I just leave it to the professional?

Re: 1600 ct engine failed on emissions
Don’t know of the top of my head. But considerably lower than the legal limit. He said he would sort it I just want to sort it myself if it’s easy enough. Rebuilt loads of old tractor carbs I just don’t know what screw to go for on these carbs

Re: 1600 ct engine failed on emissions
Passed the retest
Got my trusted vw mechanic to tune the carb.
But...... now it’s not idling very well and stalling all the time whilst driving, when pulling up and braking at a junction or lights etc.
What do I need to adjust on the carb to sort this?

Solex 34 pict 4 rebuild kit
Hi guys
I’m struggling to find a rebuild kit that is correct for a solex 34 pict 4 carb. Lots of kits I have found mention solex 34 pict 1-3.
My engine is a 1600 ct air cooled original and in my 1980 van. What type engine does that make it. Cheers

Re: 1600 ct engine failed on emissions
Cheers guys
I need to check all these things and find out exactly what carb I have and then go from there I guess. I have heard that the carbs fitted to these ct engines are very hard to set up. I do know a guy locally so I will take a look and see what I can do.
Cheers folks.

Re: 1600 ct engine failed on emissions
Hi thanks yes that all make sense. Van has not been run much since September last year. Although i put some fresh fuel in and let it idle for ten mins before setting off on the 20 mile journey to the mot test centre, which I would have thought would allow it to get plenty hot enough to burn cleanly....
