It does have the ball style check valve “s-jet” If I can get a hold of a later needle one I’ll try that.
All the issues you are having were the same problems I had, I had many look at this carb and they were all confused, Stromberg finally sent me a new one, after having numerous problems for over a year.

I have a 97 on my A,gravity feed,it will run full throttle up the steepest of hills right down to the last drop in the tank,
secret is to modify the float valve,an easy job,mine has done 1000,s of miles all over aust no drama.
do a search,or pm me and I will see if I can dig out the pics.
