Solex Z 34 carb. has two solenoids: 1 fast idle , 2 float chamber breather. According to Haynes manual the fast idle solenoid is only fitted on the fuel injection models and is wired to the injection control unit. The breather solenoid is wired to pin 3 on the ignion coil. On my model both are wired together and connected to the coil. When it was working properly the engine would fast idle until the auto choke warmed up and fully opened. Now it does not fast idle and until it warms up the engine cuts out. It is also using a hell of a lot of fuel and even when it is fully warmed and ticking over, it still cuts out if I disconnect the idle solenoid. Any thoughts and suggestions greatly appreciated.
