Solex 44PHH versus Weber carburetor debate

Carburetion is the single most debated mechanical topic: the factory-correct Solex 44PHH (with intake log and air cleaner) is prized for originality but seen as expensive to rebuild and fussy, while many owners swap to Webers as easier to work on and more reliable once set. Purists insist the Solex is the proper carb; drivers argue the Webers are simply better to live with.
