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. -----Original Message----- From: evilscientistboo@xxxxxxxxxxxxx To: tcb@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Sent: Wed, 14 Feb 2007 5:29 AM Subject: [tcb] Re: new carb 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.

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. ----- Original Message ---- From: ATX BUS <atx_bus@xxxxxxxxx> To: tcb@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Sent: Tuesday, February 13, 2007 9:39:44 PM Subject: [tcb] Re: new carb 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?
