needle specs for Stromberg CD 150

Saab fans or other specialists,
Some time ago I installed (after restoration, new needles, throttle plate, shafts, etc.) an double carburettor in place of a single one in my SAAB 99 (year 1980).
The idea was that the double carburettor would give some better performance (torque and power) than the single one. Besides that Saab promised in their early advertisements: 7% better mileage (km/l).
Now, after 3000 km, I may conclude that the first thing was realised (better torque), but not the second (mileage is about 4% worse with the same drive style).
Further: the engine is running very smoothly (better then before).
My idea is now that it should be possible to run on an poorer mixture.
This should be realised with other needles (the needles are already turned in maximally).
My problem now is that I do not have the specs of the needles available for this type of carburettor (Stromberg, CD150).
My question is: does anyone have exact specifications of the needles available (thickness as a function of the height)?
