1933 Standard Little Nine Carburetor

Does anyone out there have a carburetor for a 33 Standard Little Nine? The one on my engine is broken in several places and totally unusable. I rebuilt the engine several years ago and have not been able to find a carburetor to see if my rebuild was successful.

What make and type (sidedraft, downdraft) of carb does it have? I dont know prewar Standards, but imagine that there must be another make with compatible carb.

Did you know,

The story of Standard starts with one Sir John Wolfe Barry, who designed London’s famous Tower Bridge. After his young assistant, Reginald Waiter Maudsley, was left in financial straits by his father's death, Sir John Barry provided a cheque for £3000 to enable him to leave civil engineering and establish himself in the nascent British motor industry. Maudslay formed the Standard Motor Company in Coventry on 2 March 1903, with a total capital of £5000, a small factory in Much Park Street and offices in Earl Street.

Chairman of the tiny company was Maudslay, while his chief engineer was Alex Craig. The car that they produced incorporated only those principles which had been tried, tested, and found to be reliable ( many of them seemed to have already been tried in Craig's designs for Lea Francis and Singer). Because the car was built on proven principles, Maudslay named it the Standard. The first Standard was a solidly built Motor Victoria with a very over-square engine of 5 in bore x 3 in stroke (available in both single and twin-cylinder forms) mounted under the driver's seat. The two-cylinder version cost £367 10S in the UK. Total 1903 output was six cars; the workforce consisted of six men, who the following year increased production to the staggering total of nine cars.

Also, contributing to the war effort,

When World War 2 broke out the Canley factory once again turned to the manufacture of aircraft: this time over a thousand De Havilland Mosquitoes were built as well as Airspeed Oxford trainers. Component manufacture included items as large as complete Bristol Beaufighter fuselages and as small as bomb releases; 20,000 Bristol Hercules aero-engines were built, and 417,000 cylinders for Bristol Mercury and Pegasus engines. Vehicles were produced, too: some 10,000 light utility vans were built for military use, based on the pre-war Flying Standard 14 chassis, as were 2800 examples of the curious Beaverette. This was a light armoured car on the 14 hp chassis, intended mainly for use by groups such as the Home Guard in the event of invasion.

It is a Solex downdraft, but I haven't looked at it for years. I have thought about checking out early VW carbs that I can adapt.

Yes, there were many other models of the Standard of that period, most of which were larger and had more horsepower. This car has a one liter engine and has a rated top speed of 55mph. I'm not sure if I will ever see it on the road in my life time, but I hope I can squeeze more than 55mph if I am able to get it on the road again.

Bore and stud spacing.
I won't let you have any of my Jag Solexes (downdraughts), but I do have a couple of MB "Pontoon" Solexes.

It should be a 26FHG.

If your still looking I have spare ones, but am in England.

I have two questions: Can you send me a photo so I can confirm that this is the same as the one I have and how much in $US would you want if it is the correct one? Thank you so much for responding to my query.
