Weber carbs

I have just built a Sprint engine and took the old engine as part exchange. The exchange engine had been running on twin 40's Webers and piston damage had occurred with scuffing and broken rings.
I have diagnosed a rich mixture causing the oil to be washed off the bores and partial seizure and hence breaking the rings.
I have been in touch with the Sprint owner as if he continues using the set up on the engine I built the same will happen again. He lives in Surrey and my question is this.
Who can set up Webers correctly in Surrey?

Hi Jon,

I know that Tom Airey in Cheriton has a good reputation with Webers and Dellortos and is not far from the Surrey border on the west Farnham / Guildford areas but obviously no good at all if he's from the Reigate side.

Not used him but I've only heard good things about him.

Thanks Len Tom is indeed a well known man and I am surprised he is still doing it as he has to be over 80 now!
