hello all,
going to service my solex 28/34 z10 over the weekend,
is there any pointers or tips you guys have?
i have a Haynes manual

but i have never serviced a carb before.
also a silly question, do the main jets alter the tune/mix? or is a case of screwing then back in place?
the haynes manual is'nt very clear, and sounds like the idling jet is the only one that is adjustable for tune/mix? is it?
any info would be great,
many thanks,

Hi,
Some time ago I prepared an article covering the service and rebuild of the Z10 - if you think it would help PM me your address and I'll pop a copy in the post for you.
