JimyFloyd 0 Posted April 5, 2006 Where the air mix screw for a TU3S Solex carb is? And whats the rough settings for it? I heard that it's all the way in and then 1.5 turns back out to approximate factory settings....although that could be a load of bollox!!! Cheers in advance James Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
trogboy 17 Posted April 5, 2006 It is located in the rectangular base of the carb. As you look at the carb from the front of the car it is located on the left hand side near the back - just forward of the rear left locating hole with the stud from the manifold coming through it. Hmmm... Before I started to try and explain it all seemed so simple! I don't know the settings, sorry. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I think I was looking on the right hand side at that brass screw with the rubber washer :S......which I have no idea what that does! Anyone know the settings?

christopher 5 1 Cars Posted April 6, 2006 Cool, cheers for the reply. I think I was looking on the right hand side at that brass screw with the rubber washer :S......which I have no idea what that does! Probably a pump jett cap It does nothing except keep the channel air tight so when you put your put down the carb squirts an extra sqish of fuel into the chamber to keep the progression from the idle ciruit to the main smoothish....
