The Solex 32 PBIC was used on various other cars such as French-built Hotchkiss-Willys Jeeps, early 60s Mercedes and many others. I wonder if they have the same trouble? I did own a 59 Mercedes 220S with two twin barrel Solex carbs and the fuel pump on that car had a priming lever as well. I recall only using it if the car sat for a week or more. It’s a puzzle, all right. Nope, no anti-gravity petrol yet!
