As per the title, I am after a return spring for my DHLA 45. Noticed today I have one missing (three others in position!). If anyone has a spare or knows where I can pick one up I would be grateful.

Sounds like your carbs have had extra springs added by a previous owner.

DHLA (and likewise DCOE) return springs (1 per carb) are internal to the carb.
To check them you have to remove the carbs turn then upside down and remove the little plate on the bottom.

Interesting. I will take a picture and post it so you can see what I am talking about...

My DHLA's have two external returned spings, one and each end of the spindle. Four sounds quite a lot.
