[SEL] Ruston & Hornsby PB Carb needed

[Jerry Evans]

Hi again Guys,
         Does anyone out there have a spare a carby for a 1936 Ruston & 
Hornsby  1 1/2 to 2 hp. PB that they would like to sell?
         This engine has been on my wishlist for some time and it finally 
followed me home 2 weeks ago but it's carburettor is missing. It's the 
little PB with the Villiers flywheel magneto and the carb (according to Ray 
Hooley) is the same as the larger (4hp - I think) PB but with smaller jets.
         I was offered one locally but when I went to collect today I found 
that the flange was different as well as a few other parts of the carb. The 
one I need has 2 mounting bolts (top and bottom) and is exactly the same as 
my R&H PT except that the float chamber is on the left hand side of the 
body as opposed to the PT's which is on the right Hand Side. (Looking at 
the carby from the exhaust side of the engine))
         Here is a pic of the carb on my PT. What I am looking for is the 
same as this except that the float chamber is on the other side:

and here is a pic of the engine showing where the missing carb fits:

         Any help is much appreciated.
