There are no gasket, or seal kits available. There is only one gasket in the standard 26AHD. I fit one to the float bowl as well. Although this is not essential. Later Solex carbs had one fitted. The seals are simply, metric size fibre washers. The gasket is easily made from Flexoid gasket paper, us...

Hi Ray. I have restored several 26 AHD carburetors. when I did the first one, a couple of years ago, I also looked for restoration instructions. There aren't any. Even Solex suggested, that after 25000 miles, you should throw it away and buy a new one. Even so, provided that the cheap alloy that the...

The filter is no longer available. Chris.

Does anyone want a 1521-37 for the cost of postage. It came with job lot of squariel parts I bought; but mine is a Mk1. It is in good, useable condition.

Hi David. A compression test on my Mk1 last year, with original standard 6:1 pistons and freshly honed bores got me 100 psi on two cylinders and 105 psi on the other two. After 400 miles this rose to 108 on all cylinders. It runs really well. I would expect the Mk2 to be a bit higher. Yours seems to...

Hi Bevan. Could you post the dimensions of your oil pump. Plunger lengths and diameters in particular. I have a small collection of 1950's plunger pumps, and there is a small possibility that yours is amongst them. Cheers, Chris.

Here is another one

I use Mikuni for the main jet, 120 with a 5mm thread; and the air correction jet 150 with a 6mm thread. There may be other jets that will fit or could be adapted to fit, but my experiments have not gone that far yet.I have found genuine Mikuni jets to be very accurately made, unlike some of the genu...

For anyone interested; I have found that TePe [blue] interdental brushes, used with carb cleaner, will clean all jets and orifices in the 26 AHD except the pilot [70] which is too small, without causing damage.

Hi Malcolm. One of my winter projects is to build a 26AHD. I have the main body parts; missing, jets, float, etc. I have discovered that good parts are very hard to find; and expensive. However, I'm hoping it will be in useable condition by early next year. If you haven't found one by February, cont...
