Solex Downdraft Carburetor Help!!!!

[tompowers85]

My accelerator pump check valve broke. Does anyone know a person that has one that I might be able to buy from them? I would appreciate any help.

This kit appears to have one but it's a little pricey!

Might be cheaper to buy another carb for spare parts.

Afraid to ask how in the world the old one "broke".

I rebuilt both carbs with kits I ordered, but the washer that came with it sucked and one was leaking fuel. Instead of taking the carb off and fixing it properly I thought I would just tighten it real quick and the damn thing snapped. Nothing like breaking a 10 cent part that costs $200.00 because of a kit needs to be ordered.

This it?


From the chamber behind the accel pump?


I've got one if you want it but no crush washer. Might want to try NAPA for a washer but be prepared to buy a gasket kit if you can't find one there.

Shoot me an IM if this is what you need.
