Swap the carb positions.  If the problem moves to #2, (I think you said
4 had the problem now)  It is definately the right side of the carb.  Possibly
just a blockage.  Inspect all gaskets as you do this.

Also some solexes do have a vaccum port (a brass tube sticking up on the
right barrel), If this is open to air that side won't do too well.

Tom,

Thank you for the response.  I don't think I have a plugged idle circuit.

Whose phone number are you talking about?

<< Calvin,

Solex carbs do have some odd fault problems. I am aware
of one that allows FUEL to come through. In your case
I would suspect:
a) blocked idle fuel circuit
b) missing brass termination (little plug that goes into the
    carb body).

    I do not have his phone number handy, but worth
checking with.

I still have my solex carbs in the garage. SU's on the car. ;-)

Cheers,

Tom
