I'm having trouble getting my 30MOV solex to work properly, i can either have a decent idle and huge flat spot or reasonably progressive pick up but an idle so rick it fouls the plugs at every traffic light.
I have had to solder up the hole in the throttle butterfly and unscrew the idle speed control all the way out to get the idle down to a normal level, have other people had this problem? I think that it may indicate that there is leak somewhere in the inlet tract, this would probably upset the slow running mixture. I also wonder how vacuum tight the modern exhaust/inlet gasket materials are?
I find it works much better with a 4/5 jet cap than the later n°12 assembly, possibly the fatter earlier type holds more around it to richen the mixture when you open the throttle, I can't think of any other difference. What are other people using?
I have the standard set up otherwise, 50 slow/110main/23mm choke.
