When you get stuck, ask.
As a partial answer to your question, the secondaries are vacuum operated and only open under load. If you are dying to see them open, take the hood off, park yourself on the fender and have a friend drive. Under hard acceleration, you should see them open up.

Anybody else wondering if his "teeter totter" thingamajig has flipped over? Have you been working around the throttle linkage on the carb lately? There is a part that will sometimes flip over and changes the way that the throttle works. Resistance will be hard, and performance will be down.
There are photos of this on Carl's website, but I can't find the linky for it.... Somebody clarify what my drunk mind is trying to relay to this guy...
