Albin/Solex parts wanted

[Buzzlovelace]

Hello Everyone,
I know this may be a stretch, but do any of you have a Solex 26 VBN carburetor that goes on a 71 Albin 022 gas engine.

Thanks

You ask if anyone has this carburetor but I think that is really not the question.

Absent knowing what you need to fix here are some leads:

Also, if all you need gaskets, you can obtain/make just about anything.

No offense intended but

No tell us what needs fixing -- no fix likely.

Sorry, I would appreciate input

Sorry about that, Hers how its gone down
Started ou the motor was reving at times, so I sent fo the needle valve and seat.
Now it starts nice, but after a few miutes it floods and gas comes out the carburetor. Its a bit scarey so I dont run it. I have had it apart twice but no success. I was putting out the feelers for a different Carburetorto try The only upside is I have begun to sail without the motor

Any advice is appreciated


Thanks

Float valve is not closing before overflow. Check that the float floats and that the float closes the float valve stem with minimum force. Also, check that bowl fuel level (when fuel level rises - the float closes the valve) is low enough so overflow does not occur.

These things are the fix for the symptoms you describe so far -- Are there other symptoms?
