Hi Bob, Have you tried Burlen Services in Salisbury? www.burlen.co.uk They deal with Solex carbs Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bob Grundy Posted July 16, 2017 Author Share Posted July 16, 2017 Yes Richard, Burlen ! at Spitfire House or they were there in 1990. I will contact them without delay, thanks for the memory prompt. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bob Grundy Posted July 18, 2017 Author Share Posted July 18, 2017 I phoned Burlen and was told that the chap who did Solex carbs passed away and they do not now do them. I was told to try The Carburetta Hospital. I have not done so yet, does anyone know good reports of them ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
REME 245 Posted July 18, 2017 Share Posted July 18, 2017 I am waiting for another well know Carburettor Company to confirm when they can do my carbs. If anyone is looking to start a new business this seems to be the area to get into. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
43rdrecce Posted July 18, 2017 Share Posted July 18, 2017 Try Carburettor Exchange in Leighton Buzzard, I have used them several times for Solex carbs. They have always done a very good job. He even had some NOS Daimler AC carbs a few years back. Not the fastest though, and I don't know what their current turnaround is like. http://www.carbex.demon.co.uk/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Grasshopper Posted July 20, 2017 Share Posted July 20, 2017 You'll be lucky if you can find a company that doesn't have a long waiting time. My local company Southern Carburettors (at Gatwick) do a great job but the waiting list is 3-4 months. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
