(Mine on the 99 was a Solex, from the UK.) If I'm not mistaken, this fits exactly the description above, a tapered conic opening with a matching needle that moves up and down in response to airflow, preserving a relationship between airflow and cross-section. The metering is by vacuum diaphram working against a spring. Worked well, started in all conditions (including-no lie-40 below zero[F or C, its the same down there]) and wasn't too deadly to mantain. I hate it when I invent something someone else has patented and already gotten rich off of it. (Mine was the Technicrane.) Cheers Ben
