Do you have an filter in the fuel line? I had once in france that the internals of the fuel filter desintegrated and blocked the carb.

ΙI believe this is what Roger V is talking about.

Many thanks for your answers and document. that i will study.

About the filter : there was none but I have installed one since.

What is bizarre is that now the engine runs perfectly with a good idling .... until the next time !

I think that i will have to clean the tank , change the rubber pipes and have the carb professionaly cleaned .

I have had the carb of my 56 AZ very well cleaned with vapour blasting by http://cbxvapourblasting.co.uk/
They are specialized in cleaning carbs for the famous CBX 6 cyl Honda bike

Hello

Identifying the right Solex 26 35 carb repair kit on the Internet is not easy .

I understand that there are different carburettor versions with different fuel gaskets depending on the CIT codes and CSIC / SCIC codes :

- CSIC or SCIC according to mechanical or centrifugal clutch;
and :
-- CIT 197 CSIC Mechanical Clutch (1978, 2CV6 602cm3),
---CIT 198 SCIC Centrifugal Clutch (1978, 2CV6 602cm3),
---CIT 225 CSIC Mechanical Clutch (1981 to 1990, 2CV6 602cm3),
---CIT 238 CSIC Mechanical Clutch (VISA 652cm3)

For our 1987 2cv6 with mechanical clutch the CIT code should therefore be 225 .
I have not found proper documentation on the different versions of gaskets
so below is the result of my investigations .

Thanks for correcting me

For information

The ECAS Solex refurbishment kit for 2CV6 which has been unavailable for several months has just arrived !

MG .

that's cool bring it on

Hello
My friend's 2CV6 has been running well for several months since the installation of a good fuel filter.

However the other day it refused to start because no power to the ignition
/ faulty switch under the Neiman key lock

Fortunately replacements are available from Ecas who warns " Buy this new part but please fix your water leaks to prevent failure again. "

Indeed when opening the switch, there was huge corrosion inside , apparently from winsdhield water fluid .

Note that if you open the switch , it is not possible to put it back together ( without special tools )

Thanks to Fer for his advice !

You can put it together michel. It's a bit fiddly but it's possible. Put the oxydised parts in vinegar with a few spoons of salt. It will get clean. Only rinse it good afterwards.
