The original Spit needles were number B5CH, a.k.a. B21977. If you have something different, tell me what it is and i can look up the dimensions and see how close it is to the correct needle.
You should inspect the needle and the jet to see if they are badly worn. BTW, the type of oil in the dashpot should have no significant effect on running rich or lean. Of course, you need to be sure that the rubber diaphragm is not messed up. Another common problem is the needle adjustment (where the needle is attached to the piston) getting unscrewed, but this causes lean running.
