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

so would you say its best to get the service kit off here or from my local Renault dealer?

Buy from here, you're much more likely to get the right stuff!

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