Regarding Webers, FCC that is, Filipinas Chemical Corp (aka - the Funny Candy Co) used to carry all the parts.

As to Solex side drafts, try an online search for parts, and good luck. IIRC TRD (Toyota Racing development carried their parts).

BTW how were these carbs stored? Did you DRAIN the GAS from them before keeping them?

That's VERY IMPORTANT, if you did NOT do this, it's quite likely that the gas has evaporated and left a hard white crust that will block all the critical passages and DESTROY your carbs.

Open up the top and take a look at the float chamber - it its a mess in there - the carbs are pretty much gone - sorry.

At last I found you.

Meron din ako Solex Mikuni yata. Basta meron nakasulat na Mikuni sa ibabaw at may small green gear sa tabi "choke gear " yata. Galing ito sa change engine ko na surplus 4G15 SOHC. Di ikinabit ng Mechanic kasi mas matipid daw ang yun stock carb ng EL 4g13 ko. Baka tinamad lang yun mechanic. May kasama pa nga ito exhaust manifold na may sensor na nakakabit. Gusto ko sana gamitin itong Mikuni carb at exhaust w/ sensor.

Worth ba na pa install ko ito uli dun sa 4G15 SOHC engine? Nabasa ko na may separate Idling hole ito at may Primary hole para sa low speed at secondary hole para sa high speed. Parang ang ganda ng design.

5-6km per liter pa rin FC ko after ng change engine into 4G15 SOHC. Maybe because I'm still using the Piston type carburator for 4G13.

The reason mag change engine ako kasi Loose compression at basa sa oil yun mga spark plug ko dati sa 4G13 ko.

Wala na oil yun spark plug ngayun but maitim pa rin sa carbon. But I able too adjust the Main Jet Adjustment screw at okay na kulay ng spark plug ko.

Hope you can advise me about this Mikuni Carb.ang Exhaust w/ Sensor. Sayang kasi. Thanks in Advance.
