It depends. There was a company (“something Engineering”) in CA that made retrofit kits for some Solex 4A1 applications using a Holley 5200, which was a two-barrel progressive carb that was used by Ford and other companies in that same time frame. I did a Holley 5200 conversion on an M130 that had a Solex 4A1. It was nearly a direct bolt-up in that case, as I expect it would be in the case of the M110. The only issue you would have to deal with would be the linkage. On the M130 it nearly matched up perfectly with the factory linkage. I think I had to get a different length rod for the linkage that had the ball sockets on each end, otherwise, that was it.
The curve for the carburetor and its progressive linkage didn’t match the engine perfectly, but it worked. I thought it ran better, but in fairness to the Solex, I was driving the car with it in some of the worst shape it could be in. -D > On Dec 13, 2023, at 9:57 PM, Craig via Mercedes <mercedes@okiebenz.com> wrote: > > On Thu, 14 Dec 2023 00:48:39 +0000 "dan penoff.com via Mercedes" > <mercedes@okiebenz.com> wrote: > >> I’ve owned one car with a Solex 4A1, and that was enough experience for >> me to understand that I would never, ever, own a car with one again. > > Is it possible to change to a different carburetor? > > > Craig > > _______________________________________ > http://www.okiebenz.com > > To search list archives http://www.okiebenz.com/archive/ > > To Unsubscribe or change delivery options go to: > http://mail.okiebenz.com/mailman/listinfo/mercedes_okiebenz.com > _______________________________________ http://www.okiebenz.com To search list archives http://www.okiebenz.com/archive/ To Unsubscribe or change delivery options go to: http://mail.okiebenz.com/mailman/listinfo/mercedes_okiebenz.com
