    grp A carb - rebuild kit?

    hi all i have been told i have a group A carb on my raider
    i found today that it is leaking fuel
    possibly the seals have gone on the enrichment circuit or the bowl is leaking?
    havent looked properly yet

    can i use a standard rebuild kit for this?
    im guessing group A means its a solex thats just had the internals modified for more boost ? (it has a KTec 180 turbo )

    also where would i get a seal kit for it ??

    thanks in advance

    The grp A carbs from tuners are just standard carbs with the venturi bored out and jetted very poorly (most of the time)
    A standard seal kit will fit them although i would look into replacing the venturi with a standard size one if it was mine

    Standard carb rebuilt with the rebuild kit and jetted to suit is all you need, no need for group a carbs really .
