Have you tried the new Drafts feature yet? I just lost a long message today and learned my lesson. It is a good idea to save a draft of any long post you are writing. You can then just keep writing and keep saving a draft, knowing you have a backup if there is a glitch. The draft is automatically deleted when you post the message.

Have you tried swapping carbs from one side to the other, if the fault migrates then the problem is with the carb if not the problem lies elsewhere.

General Douglas Discussion / Re: Douglas MkV 1951 carburett...

Last post by Pallijen15 - 19 Apr 2025 at 14:47

Hi all, just to update you on my results. Taken the float chamber off, cleaned out fliat needle hole, no difference. Swapped float chambers around, still the same on the right hand side carburettor, Swapped spark plugs around, no difference. I haven't done a compression test yet as there does seem to be plenty of power. It's only when closing the throttle to change gear and idle it plays up. I mentioned a loose jet block last time but didn't get any feedback on that. There are some carburettor refurbishment specialists, Joe the Carb on Facebook, Alverstoke refurbishment in Gosport, Coln etc. Has anyone any information as to these or other companies specialising in this field? Thanks P.S. I have also removed carburettor and cleaned/flatted joints on a plate glass. No leaks around flanges
