Got a 12V - are they significantly different? - fly by wire rather than cable?
Got a 12V - are they significantly different? - fly by wire rather than cable?
The 24 valve version is cable operated - here's a photo of the culprit I damaged:
What happened (and I hate to admit it) is that I mangled the threads on the shaft with the lock-nut holding on the cable pulley when I was changing it out for a smaller pulley that I fabricated (to shorten throttle pedal travel distance). Initially, I thought I'd bring it to a machine shop to repair, but when I started dismantling it to remove the shaft, I had second thoughts about forcing it out of the bearings holding it on each side so decided to see if anyone had a complete unit instead. Worst case, I can probably revert back to the repair idea
That looks very much like the 12V unit - I am just off out for the day but tomorrow I will get it out of the box and see if there are any numbers on it - I think these are also similar/The same as the 2.0L twin spark unit - but it has been a while since I played with those.
If you can add a couple more pictures, top and side plus any numbers I can compare with the one I have. As it owes me nothing that's all I wantChances are the shaft is the same even if the castings have differences.

Had to go in the shed to get something and the body was right in front of me = It looks identical apart from maybe having a larger return spring.
Solex made in France - Part No 195320806200 will take take snaps later - gotta go.

Am I getting warmer?
The significant difference between 12v and 24v cable operated versions is that the 12v has a throttle switch, the 24v a pot. Unless you are using an OEM 12v ECU I'd guess you'd want a pot, not a switch. You can retro-fit a pot, but it's messy.
think the 24v body is a bit bigger too iirc?
