These EMPI 40K carburetors can be considered as the big brother of the original Solex. EMPI has been using the Solex / Brosol H40-44EIS carburetor for years as a complete unit under the Kadron brand name, well known in the 1970s. Brosol did not want to make any adjustments to the now obsolete design, EMPI decided to produce this carburetor under its own brand under the name 40K (40 for the diameter and the K refers to the old Kadron brand).
The 40K is like a reproduction of the original but with some improvements, so the performance and adjustment is greatly improved.
A brass vent pipe was added to prevent flooding, which was a well-known problem for off-road and racing car applications.
The top is newly designed for a wider range of air filter applications. This improvement also increases the flow rate.
A brass vacuum tube has been added to allow the assembly of an distributor with vacuum advance.
These 40K carburetors are supplied in complete kits that are perfectly suited for engines from 1600 cc.
