Urgently Wanted: Solex carb for Beetle

Just wondered if anyone might be able to help, my beetle still isn't running well (really big flat spot on acceleration, almost makes the thing stall).
Its got a Brosol H30/31 on it at the moment, which i've read aren't too great and probably the reason for the troubles. Anyway, i'm after any single carb that will go onto a 1300tp so i can hopefully fix the car to get to uni on friday.
Thanks, Andy

if you can get ray at bug barns number he normaly has them about . or baz may have one

I've tried ray at bug barn, they haven't got any apparently

Ive got one here you can have for nowt. It's been to every fucking show I've traded at for the last 4 years and not sold, even when I've said its a fiver. Sick of seeing the thing. Its another brosol 30/31pict - but its free, so if it works better then its a winner, eh.

Only problem - I'm in yam yam land.

I'll be passing by cheltenham on Friday this week sometime mid-afternoon though.

Could you meet me somewhere near the M5 then ?

Is it one of those 80's yuppy brick types pad?

yam yam land ???

I'd love a nice 80's brick type carphone

Summat like this:


But alas, no. It's just my work mobile, that does the bluetooth thing with my work car for handsfree shit. I got a fine last year for talking on a handheld, so I don't answer my own phone now when I'm driving.

And Lise..... yam yam land is Birmingham and the surrounding area. You know - where I live

I know that but I don't understand why it's yam yam ??

You know how brummies sound ?

eg. If they said 'you are' it'd be 'yow amm'. Shorten that to yam.

Yam yam. That is we.

We'm yam yams ay it (we are yam yams, aren't we)

Thankfully, I haven't got much of an accent, and I can speak the queens english. I make particularly good use of the word cunt

ooooroiyt mayt, were am yow frum then?

dunno if im a yam yam or a yaw now

Sticking the carb in the car tomorrow - call me if you need it, dude. No worries if not.
