MIKUNI-SOLEX
Float Gasket Info
The
"new style" solex carbs, are those with one screw holding
down the "Mikuni-Solex" nameplate above the float chamber
cover. There are actually at least two different float cover
gaskets. We have pretty much used whichever of these was
available at the time. I don't think I've ever had both type
carb body castings at the same time to really compare them.
They are pictured above. The Type S4 gasket on the right
#160-55 is available separately on the carb page (solex
section) and in the minor gasket kit #160-C5. The Type S5
gasket on the left is currently only available in the gasket
kits 160-C6 and 160-C7.
The
arrows show the areas of difference.
