 I would definitely replace the TR6 needle. I doubt either of the needles are the main problem, but the JH engine was a major departure from traditional British engines like the TR6, so I would expect the needles to be significantly different. That cannot be helping things.

Unfortunately there is a trad-off between quick and cost. The quickest solution is to buy everything you think you might need. The lest expensive is to order only what you know you need and then see if you need to order anything else. That means things are sitting more.

If you don't have a Stromberg manual, you should get one. These carbs are not as difficult as they are made out to be, but there are issues that are not that obvious. You can get one on Amazon:
