Some tricks and advice about trouble shooting a Lada Solex-carb for Cat models

Safety advice: Turn ignition of before removing solenoids - there WILL be fuel leaking out and a risc for fire - catch fuel with a cloth and remove cloth before doing any electrical tests.

Electronics advice: The leads to solenoids come from AFR (ECU) and are unprotected for shorts - if one of them touch the carb body or any other grounded object during the "click test" the AFR is toast. Turn of ingnition immediatley after test.

If you want to be 100% on the safe side, disconnect battery between the tests.
