SOLEX 30MOV

[Marcus Ling]

I have a Solex 30MOV which has the conventional throttle butterfly, but I also have a Solex which externally looks very similar to the MOV however it has a barrel throttle instead of the butterfly.

Is anyone able to tell me what type it is please and what it would have originally been used on. The MOV is plain bronze but the mystery one is Nickel plated.

MOV on right, mystery on left

   

Markings on float chamber of mystery one

   

View inside with throttle closed

   

View inside partly open

   

View inside fully open

   

I have looked through the article by Gerry Flockhart in 2019B but no mention in that. Any help much appreciated.

Thanks
Marcus
