Save yourself a lot of headache and don't touch a Solex 32/32 or 34/34. They are crap carbs. Here in Europe (I'm located in the Netherlands) spare parts are difficult to get, my guess is that in the US they are made of unobtanium. I have a Weber 32/36 DGV-5 (manual choke) on my Sonett III and based on that experience I managed to convince other Dutch V4 Saabers to convert to a Weber. Every one of them is glad he made the change. Although I suspect the jetting on mine to be a bit on the lean side the engine goes to the 5500rpm red line without hesitation and then I still feel I could go over that. The engine is stock, except for a Pertronix ignition and a 2" Highgate (UK based company) double exhaust with widened exhaust manifolds and flanges that go between the heads and the exhaust headers. A Weber 32/36 DGV series carb is a direct bolt-on replacement for the Solexes. With a low K&N airfilter it fits under a Sonett bonnet.
And for prices at the pump, for 98 octane we pay here approximately the equivalent of $ 1,75 per litre.....
