    Have a solex carb on my '58 CJ5. It needs adjusting and was hoping someone could tell me how to start from scratch with idle and mixture screws. If I turn both all in, how far out do the specs say they should come? Are there any good tips to getting it just right?

    Check the 3B Page, Derek has an excellent section in his tech archives on tuning a Solex.

    I put one on my 55 cj5, I backed off the idle screw turned the air mixture screw in until it would run rough, then back it off 1/2 turn the carb runs great on the trail.
