Hi guys, I have a problem with a solex 32 dis mounted on my later white Cleon engined TL.
I noticed a big loss of fuel from the base of the carb; thought it was a screw gasket fault, but changing the copper gasket gave no result; so an old mechanic told me it was a fissuration on the base of the carb "little tank". He said there was no way to fix it, and I need to replace the carb or its lower half at least.
I was thinking about a tankerite painting, but since the whole kit costs quite as much as another carb, maybe I can try a repair with an epossy resin... I already have a couple of products at home!
Any of you already tried this way?
