The carb looks very nicely done. In my experience so far, the guy is honest
about what he does. The brass doesn't look "new", it looks as polished as 400
year old brass could be. The carb looks like I'm gonna be really happy when I
put it on.

Hey, this looks good if he does what he says. A good rebuilt solex is better
than a Mex/Braz carb any day. And his prices are reasonable. Cheaper than the
new rep;acements that are available. And yes, your engine can swallow the
accelarator pump squirter.

I should also add that a Pierburg that a friend got lost the accelerator pump
brass injector thingy and it ended up bouncing around in her engine making crap
loads of noise and she thought she blew the motor, took it apart, etc.

My last 3 brand new brosal carbs have been leaky pieces of crap. At first I
thought it might be gas additives, so I switched around gas brands, no dice.
After replacing the base gasket every two weeks, I finally realized it was in
the shaft. One is a 34 two were 31's. I got a german rebuilt one on the samba
from a guy who re bushes the shafts and stuff. I haven't run it yet, but he is
supposed to do good work.
A brosal might be ok for an occasional driver, but I'll never again put one on
a daily or high mileage car.

Either a 30 pict or a 30/31 pict. With the smaller 1500 sp manifold.
The larger sp manifold or a dual port will use a 34 pict 3
A euro 1300 dp will be a 30/31 pict.
As far as options there's also the Weber replacement carb that is a direct
replacement. You can also use an adapter to go from 30/31 to 34 and vice versa.

The correct carb for your model assuming it is a single port 1500 is a Solex 30
PICT 1 ( I think). However, all of the replacement carbs that I have seen in
the past few years are the Bocar/Bosal or something like that which are
supposedly the Brazilian copy of the Solex and it's probably just going to be a
generic equivalent of the 30 PICT 1.

Thanks for the suggestions,
I have talked to Kenny before. I called him once and he had what I was looking
for I just ended up not actually needing it. I need to stop by and have a
chat
with him.
Will there be any options on this kind of carb?

Yo Mark, he's in Austin!
Don't know anywhere in Austin to get a new carb. You might look on
theSamba for a good used one?
