Hi all,

An update on my targa restoration. Over the weekend, for the first time in 17 years, i got the engine started - and it sounded alright! Unfortunately, it only ran for about 30 seconds then died. On inspection the carb was full to the brim with petrol and was leaking badly from lower around the carb body - somewhere?. Me thinks, the carb could do with new gaskets and a bit of tlc.

Does anyone know where to get the rebuild kit for this carb - Solex 36-40 PDSI single?

Also, if there are any obvious wear areas i should check out for whilst i have the thing apart?

As always, any help much appreciated.

Regards

Franc
