With a name like "Guaranteed Carburetors" they should have NO problems taking careof that for you...on their dime. But that lock-out should definitely be there. It's part of that choke mechanism, and prevents the secondaries from opening before the engine is warmed up...Even if you floor it, they are physically blocked from opening up. As your choke moves fully open with heat, the lock-out rotates out of the way...

It'll take some disassembly to install.

If you don't have it already, invest a few bucks and get Cliff Ruggles' book on Quadra Jet carbs. You'll learn more than you'll ever need about them. Website is

I used his book for a complete rebuild (not that you need that), and I couldn't be happier with the result.

But like I said, this omission is on them...
Best of luck
