I had a similar problem with my '56 Patrician after I had the carby rebuilt. The problem turned out to be exactly what Craig is suggesting. In my case a small hair or whisker, probably from the carby rebuilder, had lodged in the seat of the power valve which wouldn't allow it to reseat and seal properly. It was fixed simply by removing the hair. No prob's like this since and mileage has improved significantly. John
