Solex 32 TDID carb. question

[q123123an]

Let me first introduce myself. I'm Michiel from the Netherlands. In the autumn I bought a nice transit (mk1) autohome. (see www.mchristoph.nl/transit ). She needs a bit of attention, but the basis is good. As a silent member of this forum I already learnt alot, a great resource, but now I have a question.

One thing that needed attention was the lack of power (not a bit, but a lot). After opening up the carb (a Solex 32 TDID) I soon found out why (wonder she even had a bit of power...) See www.mchristoph.nl/carb .

A LOT of dirt, but more important, one of the two "thingies" (see 2nd pic) freely wandered around in my carb. I already ordered a repair kit and started cleaning, but as you can see on the 2nd pic, one of the two thingies (the left) is a bit damaged by the years of bouncing around in the carb. It now doesn't fit anymore where it belongs. I already searched the internet but still unable to find a replacement. Does anyone know if it is possible to find a replacement?

Otherwise I will have to try to repair it. I could possibly dril a hole and put in a tube of the same size, it will be a precise job. Any suggestions?

Try last one first

On your first picture your emulsion tube is missing on the secondary inlet choke. The main inlet choke has its in place that’s the one with the small cooper tube is, which is your accelerator jet.

Where's the top of the carburettor?

Hi Nokites, thank you very much for your response, the sites are very helpfull. I have a question about the missing part you mention. Is it the tube that I cirlcled in red below?


Because I'm not sure if it is missing, in an exploded view (below) there is also only one tube (part 17) (part 9 is the part I'm looking for). Might there be different versions? (I also don't see a hole or anything were the "missing" tube could be connected).


Toninght (as I am now at work) I'll post the pics of the top part.
Thanks again for your help!

No its Part 9 that is missing I was referring to.

Reference to missing tube, this was only used on performance cars (i.e.) GTs not on vehicles such as yours, so the block which houses the tube would have had two accelerator tubes attached, you have the correct with one fitted.
