This is a video of my Brosol/Solex H32/34 PDSI-3 carbs after I rebuilt them. These carbs had never been used on my bus' engine before I rebuilt them and as you can see they were running really lean.
I'm posting this video to show an example of undersized jets. After I drilled out the main jets my bus no longer backfires. And I'm planning on replacing these carbs something this summer with fuel injection.

Were your mixture screws way out? Drilling jets means you must not ever sell those carbs wiothout warning the new owner that any numbers on them will be meaningless.BellePlaine wrote:This is a video of my Brosol/Solex H32/34 PDSI-3 carbs after I rebuilt them.

Fair enough, I'll provide the full discloser. I was thinking of selling them along with a new YouTube video of how they run now.Amskeptic wrote:Were your mixture screws way out?

Were your idle screws turned way out but still lean before the drilling event? I ask, because that would be evidence of either small jets or low float levels.BellePlaine wrote:I'll provide the full discloser. I was thinking of selling them along with a new YouTube video of how they run now.
