S-8Y Posted July 13, 2006 Share Posted July 13, 2006 I have 2x40mm Solex Mikuni Sidedrafts for sale with Nylon Soft Mounts. Sidedrafts in good condtion and the Soft Mounts are brand new. What do you guys reckon these would be worth for resale? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raizer Posted July 13, 2006 Share Posted July 13, 2006 In my opinion there not worth a hell of a lot at all, iv had 2 pairs and there neerly imposable to get jets/gaskets/rebuild kits for compaired to Webber and Dellortos, and when you do find them there expensive! I was quoted $45 for a rebuild kit for 1 of my dells, compared to $110 for the solex kit IF they could get it in. but hey thats just my 2c Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Snoozin Posted July 13, 2006 Share Posted July 13, 2006 Do you know if they're an emissions carb or not, some of the Solex carbs that came on the Toyota's were setup for emission control as well, and have a bunch of other unnecessary crap on them. But I'd say they'd be worth anywhere from $150 to $250 if you can get the right buyer at the right time on Trademe. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gaz Posted July 13, 2006 Share Posted July 13, 2006 I think they would sell pretty quick as there are alot of people out there who would like twin 40s but dont have the money for dels or webs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snoozin Posted July 13, 2006 Share Posted July 13, 2006 Only problem is, it's going to cost a lot more to set up a set of Solexes, chokes/jets etc not as readily available either. Weber's and Dellorto's would probably work out cheaper in the long run. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Snoozin Posted July 13, 2006 Share Posted July 13, 2006 Yeah you're not wrong there, enough idiots around who'll pay good money for them. Just throw in some appropriate wording on the auction (not keyword spam) and you'll guarantee good exposure. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rusted Posted July 14, 2006 Share Posted July 14, 2006 Damn! Brought my factory GTO ones for not much and I can't find anyone who is willing to rebuild them, But I have been looking hard... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CaMpylobacter Posted July 14, 2006 Share Posted July 14, 2006 caboon got a couple of kits for his sapporo ones.... some dude's rebuilding them out in rongotea but yuh, he had a little trouble finding kits for them, although, he didn't hook them out of repco or something I don't think perhaps give him a PM and he'll let you in on where to find them?
