What carb should be on my 74 swallowtail?

Post

Back to the top
Just got hold of an old Swedish swallow tail. 

I believe it's the 1093cc engine, currently running a solex 34 pict-5. Is that the correct carb it would have come with from the factory? 

My head is saying no… only reason I was sniffing around it is the car ticks over high when started but doesn't seem to settle down even when it's warming up.. unless I fiddle with the fast idle adjustment by hand. 

I was gonna rebuild or replace with new?

Any advice?
