solex 28-34 replacement floats

Post by tob123 » 31 Mar 2010 01:52 pm

Hello all, i don't post here much, but i'm always here lurking, as this is a really great place for info, and some kind members, mac kindly sent me a carb overhaul guide a while ago which was great, and the carb worked a lot better after this, the emulsion tubes had pine needles in em!- but i did notice that floats where starting to go.
now after a year or so the engine is starting running rich, so i believe the float must be pretty bad by now, i haven't ripped the carb of yet to have a look to due the weather.

i did try a search, but i couldn't find it,

i'm looking for place to buy from replacement floats from, for my solex 28-34 (Z10?) for my renault 5 1.7, it doesn't have to be a website, just need to know where i can order a set, and the part no. if there is one please?
do volvo still sell the floats?

btw where are all the 300 series gone? i haven't seen one for a while!, and always fancied one :mrgreen:

btw in the UK if possible please.
many thanks.

These guys are webcon dealers and have been used by several of our members so far

They may only do complete rebuild kits (they are about 30 quid) but those include floats. It's worth doing everything anyway if you are going to the effort of stripping the carb down!
