Volvo Side Draft

[DHPMARINE]

Customer brought a carb in today.His mechanic says carb is non-rebuildable.Customer gave us all the parts he had.There is a metal piece on the float hinge pin,and obviously the floatable part of the float is missing,broken off.Who did what I don't know.

Motor is an AQ120,and Sierra makes kits,without floats.

Volvo says NLA.I'm home now,but I'm remembering the number as 834595-1.The carb is a Solex.

Any Ideas on finding a float?

Re: Volvo Side Draft

Several old cars (Volvo, Fiat, Triumph, MG) used side draft Solex carbs.

You may get lucky at NAPA.

Re: Volvo Side Draft

Thanks guys! Still working at this but keep finding references to Webber and SU on most sites,and few pics of any kits,and the ones I find,don't come with floats !Maybe it's just too old.

Re: Volvo Side Draft

It has been a long time
since i worried about Solex 44 AP1
I think there is an updated float
(brass) I am sure I have seen
kits with every single part,(indiv or group)
thats in the carb. barrells jets, float valves
floats. Both volvo and aftermarket.
