Morning All,
Sorry I missed the hoon,
Was all kinda busy,
Anyway I need help with a wee project,
I have a Thirties Singer Le Mans, and the carbs need balancing,
Can anyone help?
This the last thing (ish) to do then I can use the car.
Thank you in advance.

Odd as this may sound, I was at St Matthew's Church fete in Northampton last year, with the Tuscan, and parked next to a Singer Le Mans car from the 30's. I spent all afternoon chattering about this and that with the old chap but didn't get a number or anything. I will try and see if I can get contact details. If not then the Church fete is in June and there will be a car display again so he might be there.

Was it a White One?
Did the old boy Smoke a pipe? Had other cars?
Me Dad perhaps, he can't find time for the car as he has others so its down to me to get used,
He is based in Duston, was over there yesterday fettling a 1913 Buick he is driving it to Guernsey on Thurday!

Any others got the know to balance these carbs?

No, it was green and the old boy had vintage motor cycles as well I think. I will try and get some contact details tonight when the wife comes home.
