In the 170V Volume B Repair Parts Book (Group 99 Tools and accessories), there are listed under part number13699 752 a set of spare jets for the SOLEX 30 BFLVS carburetor. Exactly what jet sizes and part numbers are originally included in this onboard set. I know there are four holes in the wooden box two holes of approximately 8mm and two holes of 4 mm. Any help or explanation would be greatly appreciated.

Hi, I attach the pages concerning Mercedes in a pre-war Solex handbook, in the hope that it may be to any help.

Thank you for the post. The chart is quite interesting There are a variety of M136 engine options with different carburetor jet combinations. I believe I have read somewhere that corrector jets were used for vehicle operations at higher elevations. This still brings me back to what were the original jet sizes offered in the wooden box that is part of the onboard tool kit? I suspect that there are not so many of these little boxes remaining. Hopefully, someone has an example of the original complete tool kit. The chart is useful.

hello James,
Can this help?
The 170V 38 hp with 30 BFLVS carburettor has a
main jet of 110 x 51 or 112.5 x 51
stationary jet of 55 or 50
start jet of 170 in summer and 200 in winter
Maybe these jets were in the spare box.
regards, Jos

Thank you, Jos. I found this document of onboard equipment. It confirms your post; 1 Holzdose mit 1 Haupt-u. 2 Leerlauf-Vergaser-Ersatzdusen. Now to find the jets to fill the holes. Thank you for your assistance. All is well here. Much rain and snow in the mountains. Yesterday we were planting Tulips. Jim
