I've had no experience with the Solex carb myself, but they appear to be acceptable, but a properly tuned Carter would be a better choice. I've red that you have to use a fuel pressure regulator if you're going to run a Solex carb.

I found some information here:

definate on the pressure regulator. I have run solex carbs for years on VW's and other cars and none could handle much pressure. I had float issues and constant flooding because they have bad needles and seats.

I am assuming its a 134 F Head
what system do you have 6 / 12 / 24 volt most of these starters are easy to rebuild , alot of cleaning and replacing the brushes , if you have a 12 volt system a starter from a 80s toyota truck with a 22R will bolt right up

as for the solex carb I have never had one that ran smooth with a F head
always flooded or just leaked from every seam used , rebuilt , new all had there issues

Novak sells an adapter to put a 1 barrel carb from a toyota
that was the best choice for carbs back in the 80s it even made the little 134 purr like a kitten

I'm on my 6th flat fender all built many different ways
my latest is my favorite yet
