Citroën 2CV Carburetors: Overview of Model Years, Models, and Types

This overview shows which carburetor types were used in the Citroën 2CV depending on the model, model year, engine, and clutch type (manual vs. centrifugal clutch). Ideal if you want to identify a carburetor, assign it to a specific variant, or select the right replacement parts.

1949–1957: Citroën 2CV Type A / 2CV AZ (single-barrel carburetor)

When the 2CV was launched in France in 1949 (2CV Type A, later 2CV AZ), the vehicles were equipped with a Solex 22 ZACI single-choke carburetor supplied by Solex.

1954–1962: 425 cm³ in Citroën 2CV AZ and AZU

Starting in 1954, the 2CV AZ and AZU (delivery van) models were introduced with a 425-cc engine. The engine was paired with a new carburetor:

  • Solex 26 BCI (introduced 10/1955, updated 04/1958)
    Starting with the 1958 model year, this carburetor was also used in the 2CV AZL and AZLP models.

Later, the following model was introduced for the 425-cc engines:

  • Solex 26 IBC
    This carburetor was further developed over time, including changes to the jet sizes from 15.5 mm to 17 mm and then to 19 mm.

From 02/1963: 435 cm³ (AZL/AZLP) and Solex 28

In February 1963, a further-developed 435 cm³ engine was introduced, initially installed in the 2CV AZL and AZLP sedans. The engine featured modified cylinder heads and an altered intake manifold. As a result, the Solex 28 was used.

Clutch/transmission variant determines:

  • Manual transmission: Solex 28 IBC
  • Centrifugal clutch: Solex 28 CBI

Citroën 2CV AZAM: Zenith 28 IN (and partly Solex 28 IBC)

With the introduction of the luxury model 2CV AZAM, a Zenith carburetor was installed for the first time:

  • Zenith 28 IN However,
    there were also AZAM models equipped with the Solex 28 IBC. This marked the first (and only) time a carburetor from another manufacturer was used in 2CV production.

Carburetor for the Citroën 2CV6 (602 cm³)

The 602-cc engine (2CV6) was first introduced in a Fourgonette (AZU) in 1963 and was also equipped with a Solex carburetor:

  • 1963–1966: Solex 30 PICS
  • From model year 1967: Solex 32 PICS (2CV + AZU)

Citroën 2CV4/2CV6 until approx. 1978: Single-barrel carburetor (depending on country of delivery)

From this point on, carburetors vary depending on the country of delivery, gasoline quality, and clutch type. The 2CV4 and 2CV6 models were equipped with single-barrel carburetors from Solex until approximately the 1978 model year (depending on the country of delivery).

Standard clutch:

  • Solex 34 PICS, 34 PICS 5, 34 PICS 6, 34 PICS 10

Centrifugal clutch:

  • Solex 34 PCIS 4, 34 PCIS 6, 34 PCIS 10

From model year 1978: Switch to twin carburetors (single carburetors continued until 1981 depending on the country)

Starting in 1978, there was a gradual transition from the single carburetor (technical term: downflow single-chamber carburetor) to the oval twin carburetor (technical term: downflow dual-chamber carburetor). However, depending on the country of delivery, single carburetors continued to be installed until 1981.

Important Note (Dual Carburetor / Adjustment)

The throttle stop screw for the 2nd stage (second register) is sealed. Idle speed is adjusted only via the stop screw of the first stage. Otherwise, there is a risk that the calibration of the first and second registers will be disrupted. This cannot be reliably restored with standard workshop equipment (if necessary, only via a carburetor test bench at manufacturers or specialized carburetor service centers).

Manual transmission vs. centrifugal clutch: CSIC / SCIC

The Solex 26/35 CSIC was installed in the 2CV6 with a standard clutch. In vehicles with a centrifugal clutch (available until the 1983 model year), the Solex 26/35 SCIC was used.
From the 1983 model year until production ceased in 1990, only the Solex 26/35 CSIC was used.

With the switch to twin carburetors, the air filter housing was also changed: Until then, it was made of sheet metal; since then, only air filters with plastic housings have been available.
