You shouldn't reall feel them "kick-in". When set correctly the transition onto the secondaries should be smooth and seamless. Even so, when going to full throttle, you should see a dramatic increase in engine power output as it gets into the higher rpms.
If the engine power is WAY off, feels "flat" clear across the rpm range, etc, it still doesn't mean that their is a carburetor problem. If the mechanical throttle plates work during a static test, and the secondary airflaps aren't binding on the link, and open freely by pushing down on them, the problem is likely someplace other than the carburetor......Cliff
