Rick,
       Be aware that the carb settings in the handbook were for the poorer quality fuel that was around just post WW2. With our modern fuels, quite a few owners have found their bikes run better with slightly smaller slide cutaways and main jets that are 5 or 10 bigger. The smaller cutaway improves the pick up, and the larger main jet helps the engine to run a little cooler at higher speeds.

Regards,
              Eddie.

Of course, reason for the long time getting her back together, we've just come out of the coldest and frostiest winter we've had over here for a couple of decades.
Finally been able to get her out into the driveway to work on. very limited space in the garage.

Finally managed to get my power plant back into the frame, and then spent the next day rebuilding all I had to remove to get the engine-box unit out.
Filled gearbox and motor with good oil, tickled the carbs and she fired up on the first kick.

Took her for a short run to the both ends of my street and back.
Gearbox working perfectly now.

Just need to sort a small missfire on applying more throttle, not certain if ignition or fuel is the culprit.
However, once underway, going up through and back down the gears, she runs fairly well.

A longer run next time out may sort her out.

Absolutely stoked with the gearbox tinker.
Cheers

Hi Neil,
Plain hand pump? https://www.douglasmotorcycles.net/index.php?topic=1109.msg3763#msg3763
Or a hand pump with drip feed? Or a mechanical pump?
Leon

Do you have an older Douglas 1924 or 25   either for staionary or cycle I can   buy shipped to Dave Bagne  1025 Dale St,  Southwest   Hutchnson Mn  55350  I have used passed a private shipper that will retrive the  Box & ship.I plan on building a board track racer.

I am in the process of restoring a 1924 TS 2 3/4.
The Best and Lloyd oil pump system is missing a few parts and i am not familiar with these.
I am seeking either a cross sectional or schematic drawing or even better a manual. Any help will be greatly appreciated. 
Neil
