I've read about that buzzing sound before .
Was it from the speedo binnacle or elsewhere ? .
As you're just down the road from the various Long Beach P-A-P's , I'd suggest going to one for the fuel tube .
Maybe I'll get lucky and talk Tom into going to - morrow before the rain starts , there's supposedly a Metropolitan Nash Coupe in one .
