hey everyone,

betty cracked the shits with the carby yesterday, the inspection window for the throttle body popped off, so now its getting too much O2, and instead of botching up a fix, i'd rather replace it.

anyone have a solex carby to suit a 1600 sp?

Mate those little plates pop out all the time.
Press it back in with some bondo and peen the edge, it will then stay put.
Cheaper than finding another carb.

just fixed it today, i used a 5c coin, belt sanded it smaller and used some sikaflex to seal, then peened the edge to hold it in.

the 5c fix.... lol
