I have made enquiries in our Service Station and find that we have only had two Rolls-Royce Cars in there since we started supplying you and in neither case was there a complaint of popping back. Therefore we have not had to deal with this complaint and so do not know much about it.

If the trouble is actually due to carburation, as you suggest, then I am sure we can find a way out of the P.T.O... | ||
