start up
« on: March 29, 2013, 11:33:53 AM »
hello gentlemen, i have a new solex carb on my cj3a and it seems to be cold blooded. after it gets warmed up it seems to run fine. ive read alot about installing a fuel pressure regulator to dial down the pressure, how important is this and do you think this would help on my start ups.
thanks to all,
terry b.

Do you have the enrichment valve/choke hooked up? When it starts do you have a cloud of black smoke?

Solexes do not like excess pressure but whether that is causing your startup problems, I don't know.

I don't have a solex but from what I've read the fuel regulator is the first place to start in diagnosing problems. �

I run a Solex and they most certainly run rich! Especially if you don't have a pressure regulator....you can change the jets and this will help a lot....Go to GeneGurg.com for jets
