Yes, check the dashpot oil as Paul says. 20W50 will be fine. It's unlikely to be the carb needle.
If the problem persists, take it over to Gerard Dale for a static set-up. The carbs do not not last long before needing a rebuild.

it could be number of things, and could do number of things to find out why
as gerald fitted and set up your car , i think the best bet is to take it back to him to see what he says. he will proberly know straight away what the problem is and sort it out.
