Vacume secondairies work as described. They will normally only open at WOT under load. Which means if you are parked and open the carb fully the chance of the seconds opening is little to none. They will only open when the engine demands more air and fuel. You can put in lighter springs to make the seconds open sooner but be careful doing this as you do not want them opening too soon. If set correctly you will not even feel the seconds open as it will be a smooth transisiton.

So if I'm not getting WOT because my throttle cable needs adjustment no secondaries..huh.. I'm about 15-20 degrees of pitch off from WOT on the primaries..
I thought my secondaries weren't kicking in. I didn't feel that kick or here it scream.
Thanks
