Jonathan, the only thing the oil in the dashpots does is dampen the upward 
action of the carb piston when you accelerate.

Check your air/fuel mixture.  The purpose of the choke is to richen (i.e more 
fuel in the air/fuel ratio) the mixture.  The purpose of the choke is to lift 
the piston a little bit thereby richening the mixture.  Since the car runs OK 
with the choke out a little, you could possibly have the carbs too lean.  
Cheers.
