I am having a big problem with my solex 34/34 Z1 carb... Benzin is literally dripping from one screw (pictures below).

The smell of benzin around the car is huge.

I will let the pictures tell the story...

Here are the 3 screws in red. You can see the benzin dripping out. This is with the engine running at idle. The blue circle is the accelerator pump. This is from the battery's side



This is from the front, the same screw. Idle also



Close up at idle.



This is the side from the alternator. Idle. You can see that benzin is also on the thing that it is connected to the first accelerator valve.



This is with the engine off for a couple of minutes, and intentionally flooded by me.



Here is the back. You can see the first accelerator valve's things, filled with benzin....



I think I am having a problem with this selenoid, in red. Also with the gasket in blue, even though that is 1 year old only...



Please any advice would be helpful, I think it is a dangerous problem, and the mechanics here don't repair carbs any more, and the few how do aren't really that good...

Oh my god! Totally broken your carburator, be carefull when hot, it can burn :S

Change it!!!

those fuking Solex...I had one for 6 years and I suffered too much..

The same, I got one, I stopped suffering by buying a new one ... expensive!!

But don't worry, Razvan has normally a solution to this carburator

I will change it ASAP

I did that also, last year, but this seams to be beyond repair.

It would make no difference, the problem isn't just there

Anyway, I already found a replacement. The carb is identical but it comes from a 1.6. My question is what parts are different from a 1.6 and a 1.9, apart from the jiglores?

Probably the emulsion tubes:

Razvan, the carburator comes from a 1,9 but has been adapted to 1,6. Normally, there is all the needed parts to go back to the genuine configuration
