With the ongoing documented issues around Solex carbs, you may want to consider having the original carb "rebuilt" instead of "more changes", for a longer run without issues.  Just a thought out loud.  It will be interesting to see what others with more experience have to say.

Good morning,

Been working on our '54 CJ3B with an existing governor that was already installed. We replaced the existing carb with a solex.
Since the solex side linkage is slightly different, the crossover bar/linkage from the solex to the govenrnor bellcrank bar has some interference. It hits the bottom spark plug wiring loom at full throttle. Possible fixes- it appears we could raise the loom or rotate 180 towards the firewall.

Just asking if anyone has experienced this small issue and came up with a solution. Pictures are worth a 1000 words.

Thank you!
