1959 Mercedes 180 Solex 34PICB
The as is never monkeyed with 34PICB Solex on the 59 Benz leaked more fuel out the diaphragm then into the combustion chamber, easy fix, replaced the diaphragms on both sides, here u can see how whipped they were, as usual Feebay the best source. the float in the background is used in many different models including Peugeot , the float should not cost u more than $15, slim chance it will have leaks. same Solex in 180 n 190 models.
WLA switches
