Davemate Posted April 11, 2015 Share Posted April 11, 2015 Just tried to order a refurb kit for the wifes carb from Canleys and there seems to be more than one type of solex,it's on a 1964 herald 1200Basicly petrol is pissing out of the accelerator pump every time the throttle is pushed so I need a new pump diaphragm So what carb is this Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

herald948 Posted April 11, 2015 Share Posted April 11, 2015 The picture shows a B30PSE1; the earlier "ZIC" carbs didn't have the accelerator pump. There are also two "flavors" of B30PSE1 -- early and late, with some minor detail differences. But I think they both take at least the same diaphragm and probably most other bits.

Stu 1986 Posted April 12, 2015 Share Posted April 12, 2015 I need to order some gaskets for the same type of carb, it's a 1964 1200 also. Did you find out what type of carb it is? I'll also have to take the manifolds off to clean them out as I suspect there is some filth in there causing issues. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Davemate Posted April 12, 2015 Author Share Posted April 12, 2015 StuI just swapped it with the one Roger gave me, all I can say is it looks the same. No idea what it is though ;D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stu 1986 Posted April 12, 2015 Share Posted April 12, 2015 I was going to do a thorough clean of the carb and replace the gaskets on it. The accelerator pump isn't leaking on this one, so if the other gaskets are the same maybe I'll get away with that. I could write a book about this Herald Dave, It isn't mine it belongs to my friend. It came to me in November to have the clutch hydraulics addressed, and it hasn't left! I've done nearly everything on it now other than respray and re trim it!

roger.england Posted April 18, 2015 Share Posted April 18, 2015 If I recall correctly I established the model of my carb by looking at Canley's website.Roger Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stu 1986 Posted April 19, 2015 Share Posted April 19, 2015 Thanks for the tip off Chunky, I'll give them a try. Roger, I looked at Canley's site but couldn't work out which was which. I'll have a closer look when I have the carb & computer together. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
