Hi.
What carburettor and manifolds are in un use for the 1926 Austin chummy when the orginal is no longer working. Is there anyone out there who is able to tell me about this. Or mabye is there a chance to get another carburettor for the car. It has now a ZENITH updraught.
All the best from Iceland.

Hi Bragi,

Before you change your carb' why not have a look at www.burlen.co.uk

They can restore your existing carb' back to like new. I had my Zenith carb restored by them and it was a fantastic job for about 150 Pounds sterling.

Hi Birdman and thank you.
This will fix the problem.
I send the unit over.
Do you know where in England is best to get the sidescreens for my Cummy.
It was missing when the car came over here from Florida.
Best regards.

I have never had 'hood work' carried out but reading from the Austin Seven red book offer these contacts :

D.S. AUTOMOBILE 01483 303914

Stephen Grundy 01772 633143

Huke Brothers 01442 255080

Just a few to get on with,I'm sure somebody who has used these or others will post up with more contacts.
Good luck and let us know how you get on.information

Bragi,

Alot of people respect Ruairdh in seven circles and in all seriousness I should follow his recommendations over mine. Altho Burlens are excellent but more expensive it appears.

Thank you guys.
My 1926 Cummy is the only Austin Seven in Iceland.
It is so fine to have thise fine internet contact.
This will fix all my problems.
My email is gr8@simnet.is if yoy want a photo of the lonely Cummy in Iceland for your collection.
Best regards and sorry for the English.
B Gudmundsson.
