That would provide more satisfying data.

I had assumed that there was something that one could measure directly, or take apart and measure. How about the drilling down from the top into the body of the float valve; wouldn't that be the diameter of the valve itself? You could measure it with a caliper, or with drill bits/wire gauges. Would a Solex beetle float valve screw into a Soles type 3 carb? -- Jim Adney jadney@vwtype3.org Madison, WI 53711-3054 USA ------------------------------------------------ To unsubscribe, E-mail to: <type3-off@vwtype3.org> For more help, see http://vwtype3.org/list/
