Gents- I am in the US in Maryland and finished this engine about 2 weeks ago. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FLtSQIh8hFI Since then, I advanced the timing a bit and installed a muffler to civilize its' initial bark. She now purrs along at ~200 rpm. To finish, I am in need of a solex horizontal carb- early 20's vintage, side-draft, something like 16-20 mm throat, brass.... Anyone in the UK have any leads on one or a contact here in the US? I have jury-rigged a carb on the old girl to get her going; sure would be fitting and proper to have the right carb on it. Any leads or weapons-grade BS welcome.

Hi Paul
Beautiful. Does it have two cams or perhaps lever followers? Have you set a carb search running on Ebay UK?

Good luck
Roland

Roland- It has cam followers and 1 cam. They look like pinball machine flippers. I'll try the ebay UK angle to search for a carb. thanks.
