I took my Solex 34pict-3 apart because it wasnt running very good. While it was apart i took out the main jet. I thought it was a x130 but to my surprise it says 1.85. What the hell is this thing? All the articles i have read say the jet will say "X127.5" up to "X135" or some where in that range.

Can any one shed some light on this for me? Im trying to get rid of the 009/34pic-3 flat spot. I have also read that you should change the air correction jet to some where around 60Z is that correct? I inspected mine and it says "757". Whats that about?

Thanks

alternate theory about the 34PICT flat spot:

Plug the hole in the throttle plate. Some solder it closed. I'm thinking a 1/8" copper rivet from Ace hardware; $.07

Scrap the 009 and get an SVDA

I'm working on this today, if the weather chooses to coperate

Well a SVDA is $160 and jets are $10. I bet you cant guess which one i will go for. im cheap.
Im also curious to know what my jets are. From what i have read, 1.85 mm is way to big for a main jet.

Scrap the 009 and get any other good used distributor. Type 3 FI distributors have a very nice mechanical advance curve, but also have the vacuum advance.

X2.

I understand cheap. My wife calls me "El Cheapo". But how much time and how many jets at $ 10.00 will you buy and may not FIX the problem. My 009 works great above 4000 rpm on my drag rail, but my vacuum advance works great on my 1600 stocker.

I have the same problem with the 34PICT-3 and the flat spot. I went for it and bought the SVDA dizzy scrapping the 009. Well after paying $130 for the new dizzy everything is worse.
I think the next thing I try will be to rivet the bottom of the throttle plate as described in this tread.

Anyone know how to "attach" the rivet? soldering? any other way?

a copper rivet will crush into place with a good heavy set of pliers
