The top of your carb(s) should have a plastic top that you 
can unscrew.  Unscrew it and there is your dashpot oil.  I 
think you are supposed to fill them up to 1/4 inch below 
the threads.  You can buy the special oil from any of the 
major britcar dealers.  Or you can use 20-50w oil if you 
don't live in a too cold area.  The special oil is just 
straight 20w.  Which I think is the same stuff as RC car 
oil uses for its shocks.. But don't quote me on that.
