Just another thought... When you drove the car back from Stoneleigh - did it run properly when you were using more than tickover / on the 2nd carb opening?
Also - have you looked at the spark plugs to see what colour they are when you have done a run on the carb? That will point to either running too lean, or too rich. The instructions advised to take the existing jet out which was a 117, and replace with a 122 unit. I purchased mine from Fast Road Cars off eBay - really helpful and friendly chap - I also ordered a full rebuild kit, and it arrived the next working day. You are more than welcome to borrow / try the 117 jet I took out.
