Has anyone had any bad experiences with the modern Solexes? Throttle shaft wear or other quality issues? I am debating whether to go Solex or the Weber ICT. I have run the baby Webers in the past and know that their shafts wear out fairly quickly, but what about the Solexes? Also, I see that CB has 34 Solexes and scat has 35 and 40 Solexes. Personally I would rather run a set of weber 44s (I have a set), but because of height limitations (T4 in Squareback), I am stuck with running two singles. Even the Kads are too tall to fit.
Thanks

the problem with that setup is that all of your intake air is hot, right off of the engine
