			I have a couple of these NOS carbs but in spite of a long internet search, cannot determine the application. Can anyone help? It is a sidedraft Solex 35RZPAIPO or maybe 35RZFAIPO. Is about the same size as an M151 carb. 
		
		
		
			The only ebay listing I could find says WW2 Bedfor- but that seems unlikely. Can any of our UK members help with this??  |

			Thanks for the ID. Once I googled Bedfords I quickly found a photo. I assume the short arm with the holes on either side are some version of a choke?? 
		
		
		
		
		
		
		
		
	
	Once again I am amazed at the expertise available here on MLU ! B.P.  |

 Glad to help. The device on the side was what Solex called Zero Starter and is the choke as such. I have had dealings with these carbs for many years! Michael, I would have been quicker if I had seen the post earlier! Regards Richard
