  • A Solex/KAP Mystery. ( UPDATE V: KAP aftermarket materials )

The top part of a Solex MGH carburettor fits perfectly with  the carburettor bottom part (the reservoir) shown in the picture. However it is marked clearly as: DOSEUR AUTOMATIQUE KAP BRÉVETS G.LAMOUREUX.
Inscripted in the bronze body: GDMH 22/26 and partsnumber 3914.
Is there anyone familiar with KAP carburettors or with Monsieur G. Lamoureux? (...not a bad name for a french man) 

edit.: We googled for both names but didn't find a trace.

Gentlemen, thank you for your reactions. The KAP-carburettor was part of an Amilcar barnfind. The bronze cast looks like a Solex-clone but mixing the air and the petrol functions quite differently from a standard Solex MHG.
Was KAP ever being manufactured? Which carbrands did apply the KAP carbs?
Maybe answers exists to these questions
Looking forward
