Solex PDSIT 34 Fuel Cut Off Valves
Posted: 30 Dec 2018, 21:32
HI All,
I'm having a problem with the carbs on my 2.0l CU Aircooled, it seems to be with the Fuel Cut off Valves, not the idle cut off valve but the one that is on both carbs. If you pull off the connector on the right one the engine judders a bit but does not stall, If you pull off the left one the engine stalls. I have removed both valves and swapped them over and the problem swaps, so I presume that one of the valves are faulty. I have removed the valves and hooked up a 12v supply to them and connected a rubber pipe to the end, when you blow through the pipe it feels blocked until you connect the battery then you can blow through but there is still pressure when you blow. I have tried blowing through with an air line but one of them still stalls the engine. I presume that one is faulty but they both feel the same when blown.
Does anyone know how freely I should be able to blow through these valves or if these are prone to going partly faulty?
Cheers
Melvin
