Most of the rotary carbs like yours don't have dual needles unfortunately.
If yours doesn't have dual needles and you want to stick with the rotary style carb, try DavesMotors.com I agree with W8YE's size recommendation.

I have used the rotary barrel type. It worked good. There are RB carbs, some with one needle & some with two needles. If you do not have good luck go to a carb that has a throttle plate. Most have 2 needles..one is Hi speed other is low end fuel adjustment.
One thing I liked about the rotary barrel is that the mid range does not have the "burble" in the mid range.
