Gary,
 
Excellent point and Tony knows that I experienced this dilemma first hand  
with my TR6 back in 2003 when I was sorting out the engine after 
restoration. 
 
So, I'd like to add to my last email response - the magic solution to many  
lean condition stumbling in TR6's with S-2 or equivalent cams and Stromberg 
 fixed jet (adjustable needle) carbs has been a needle swap to B1E Jaguar  
needles.  These needles have a very friendly profile for modified TR6  
motors in that they deliver more fuel immediately off idle and continue to  
deliver more fuel in adequate proportions over the power band of your  
camshaft.  
It's just a suggestion.....I don't know what else you've done to  the 
engine in terms of modifications but keep the idea in mind.
