Hello.
Sorry to write at English, I am from Sweden and unfortantly I do not speak German.
I have great and nice 280C coupe from late 1972, in Sweden its modell 1973.
I have some problem with Solex 4A1 as many other.
Its problem to start the car when cold. I have to turn key several times, she start but die.
Whan she is warm, there is almost no problem.
When she start (cold) I have to help idle for a while by pressing a little bit gas pedal. If I give to much gas, car die too. After been run at idle for 2-3 minutes, then is no problem.
The car is rebuilt to manual choke for many years ago. ut it doesnt matter what I do with the choke.
Cables, rotor, sparkpluggs and other things are in perfect condition, i have Petronix ignition.
I have been read that those carburator can develop air leak, wrap and get impossible to get work nice.
In american forums everybody just talk about replace carburator to Holley pr Weber. But I would like to keep car original if possible.
I have for years looking to find help, but it seems that no one more work with those carburators in Sweden
Is tehere anyone in Geramny that rebuild Solex carburators, or can I bue a new somwhere?
