Hi Pekka,.. .. I will be in the shed tomorrow to pull the carby off and go through it and make sure it has the specifications you have listed and run it again to see if it fixes the problem. One thing I did not mention was that when slowing down to a stop light after a long run, the motor backfires ...

Hi Everyone .. After major restoration the 1952 Singer 4AD is on the road and well on it's way to getting reliable, but still have one small problem.. The engine has a single Solex 30 FA1 / B46 carburetor Each time we take it out for a long run, it performs well on the open road but when we hit the ...

Hi Mark,.. I had the same problem last year when rebuilding my 4AD motor, and the welsh plug or freeze plug as you call them, in the correct size is almost, or impossible to find. You may find some new old stock at a swap meet, but I gave up after attending numerous large swaps and finding nothing. ...

I sent the detailed drawings off to an interstate car parts supplier, who has a warehouse full of new Old Stock, of hundreds of models of cars, and he says it will take them years to identify and label all the parts .. so he will be sometime before he get...

Hi Pekka .. Thanks again for the info,.. have ordered the bushes, and when they arrive will proceed with your suggestion .. One other front end query.. I have replaced the front wheel bearings ..Between the the inner and outer bearings there is a spacer with a tapered end, the tapered end goes to th...

Hi Pekka .. Thanks for the detailed information, and the info about tightening the castle nut on top, because that was the first thing I was about to try .. It seems that the best way to go about it, is to start by moving the 1 1/4" long bush upwards by 20 mm to see if it helps with the problem...

Hi Pekka,.. Thank you for the response .. I have been looking at a 4AB front end diagram in the manual and it looks like the bottom is attached to the kingpin although it is not very clear,.. they call it a swivel Pin ?? here is a quote from the manual page 6(G) 7... " Remove the nut and washer...
