RE:TH400 Slip Up

[adephia]

Sorry about the racing freely description, my bad.  I have enough experience 
and knowledge in this area to be misleading, but I am learning from 
everyones replies.  Thanks.  When the fellow took my car car out, what I 
thought was the engine roaring was that the engine did rev higher once it 
drop down a gear, but that it could not rev high enough to increase the cars 
speed, but as you let up on the gas the tranny would shift up, and now the 
engine could pull the car better.  I don't want to attempt to describe the 
sound because I may mislead, it just didn't sound like it was bogging.  The 
choke does seem to work well.  Fully closed when cold, secondaries appear to 
open properly when engine is warmed up    Thanks, Allen Puma 68 442

   Wait a minute.  Your initial post said the engine races freely without
   the car accelerating when you floor it, IIRC?  Is this right?  If you
   have a fuel delivery issue at WOT, the engine will bog.  It will not
   race freely.  Your other (clod start) issues are symptomatic of either a
   bad well plug in the carb or a non functional choke.
