    Yeah,but she is a total Solex girl. In fact shes the one that talked me into replacing my old Solex with a Rebuilt one from RDS. She pointed out to me that the external jets were a snap to pull out to clean,and no other Carb has such a fine running idle. Actually I think she said smooth running idle.

    Well, that just goes to show you can't judge a woman by her expression, because she sure doesn't look like a Solex girl.

    She knows a lot more about the Solex than I do then. Although I thought they were discussing how to put the synchro clips in without removing the gearbox.

    It's obviously a conundrum between 15" or 16" wheels. You guys are such rookies.

    I believe they are discussing the typical Rover project time line.

    Little boy: "He is just fixing the clutch then we can go for a ride"

    Little Girl: "I disagree, he'll have the whole thing in pieces tomorrow and we will go for a ride in a month"

    O.K. maybe a little optimistic but I am quite impressed by a few members fast progress on their projects. My newly completed rebuild took 5 1/2 years.
