Angry weber carb problems

I have a set of dual 2 bbl webers on a rotary enginering intake. Even at full throtle(sitting still) the secondaries never seem to open. Any ideas on adjusting the carbs so the secondaries give a good dose of gas?

Secondaries?! What?

A 2 barrel Weber doesn't have any secondaries - that's why it's called a "2 barrel" carburator.

It's the RE setup, they are a pair of two stage carbs. If the secondary butterflies aren't opening then something is wrong with your linkage because they are purely mechanically operated.
