engine and drivetrain Solex side drafts vs Weber side drafts

[70roundtail02]

This has probally been debated on here before but i couldn't seem to find too much on it in the archives other than the Solex versions are getting harder to find parts for, and on some engines the webers are better. Wondering if anyone can help me out on this. Thanks

my bro (jetboy on here) just got a set of the solex side drafts for his 70, so i'm curious how they perform as well. I guess its been pissing down in SF so they're still sitting around his apartment wating for a day off + no rain.

I heard they are very similar - the only difference was that Weber were a lot easier to find parts for... hence why I have a Weber 45 sitting next to me as I type...

Would the top mount throttle assembly for webers work for these?

As Todd said, parts are a bit harder to come by... I took my set to a carb specialist and told me that the chokes were a bit hard to find. Apparently the same carb is used on a Benz of some description though...
