They (Moss, TRF, Victoria British) sell damper oil.. but something equivalent to 20 or 30 wt motor oil is about the right viscosity for most people.
If you get a motor oil designed for high mileage engines, there will be a additive that might prolong the life of the damper well O-ring seal.

Moss sells SU carb oil, but kind of pricey. The important thing is the 20 wt. After much research decided that I would go with straight 20wt Three in One Oil. The links that helped me decide were https://www.british-cars.net/triumph-tr6-bbs/carb-dashpot-oil-200405030042384442.htm and https://www.buckeyetriumphs.org/technical/Carbs/CarbsI/CarbsI.htm . Home Depot sells it 4 Oz for $3 or 8 Oz for $4.29.One 4 Oz container was more than enough for both carbs, with plenty left over.
