Looks like the Solex / Zenith 2B2 (or 2B5) carb on the s**te old Golf has given up the ghost.
I'm pretty convinced that it's the auto-choke mechanism that's giving me problems.
I seem to have 3 or 4 options to sort this.....
- Get a new auto-choke mechanism - if one is available
- Convert to manual choke - again, if one is available
- Order a new 2B2/5 carb
- Order a Weber replacement
I've not had any luck getting hold of a carb from the VW breakers, and Eurocarparts have no stock of the 2B2 or 5, so if I'm going down the replacement route, it's going to be a Weber - nice, but expensive.
So - anyone know if there's manual conversions or replacement auto-choke bits available? - or is it possible to rebuild my auto-choke?
Any advice appreciated - the missus is hassling me to fix it.
Cheers,
