Valves adjusted?points set to .016?Timing set at steel ball on flywheel? Set idle at about 1000rpm, adjust mixture screw in till engine starts to run rough then back it out to best idle[approx.21/2 turns]then djust your idle screw up or down to approx. 800rpm Good luck, Danny.

OK so Im a bit stupid or plain slow..you choose, Solex is a new animal to me as is the car itself, Have a 76 2002, with a 32/32, In the "wonderfully worded" (choke..cough..)Haynes manual it shows the fuel mixture set at 5 (Mongo said 2-1/2) Ill go with Mongo...BUT the air mixture screw needs to be set where? I set it at 2-1/2 to begin, but damn if it still flooded the plugs. I tested the spark (hard with noone to help) but I know I have fire. Or do I need to begin at the points? I just know that I was trying to smooth the idle and I messed with the air mixture screw and all went south. Can anyone help Besides suggesting a new carb set up? Lord knows the cash aint here for that quite yet THANK YOU !!!

    BMW Neue Klasse - a birth of a Sports Sedan

    Unveiling of the Neue Klasse Unveiled in 1961, BMW 1500 sedan was a revolutionary concept at the outset of the '60s. No tail fins or chrome fountains. Instead, what you got was understated and elegant, in a modern sense, exciting to drive as nearly any sports car, and yet still comfortable for four.   The elegant little sedan was an instant sensation. In the 1500, BMW not only found the long-term solution to its dire business straits but, more importantly, created an entirely new

    History of the BMW 2002 and the 02 Series

    In 1966, BMW was practically unknown in the US unless you were a touring motorcycle enthusiast or had seen an Isetta given away on a quiz show.  BMW’s sales in the US that year were just 1253 cars.  Then BMW 1600-2 came to America’s shores, tripling US sales to 4564 the following year, boosted by favorable articles in the Buff Books. Car and Driver called it “the best $2500 sedan anywhere.”  Road & Track’s road test was equally enthusiastic.  Then, BMW took a cue from American manufacturers,

    The BMW 2002 Production Run

    BMW 02 series are like the original Volkswagen Beetles in one way (besides both being German classic cars)—throughout their long production, they all essentially look alike—at least to the uninitiated:  small, boxy, rear-wheel drive, two-door sedan.  Aficionados know better.   Not only were there three other body styles—none, unfortunately, exported to the US—but there were some significant visual and mechanical changes over their eleven-year production run.   I’ve extracted t
