No, not unless needed. In short there are 4 holes. 2 are called Primaries and they would be the front 2 holes.. The back 2 holes are called secondaries. When just driving regular you run mostly on the Primaries unless you are over half throttle then the secondaries come in adding more gas and air to the mix for faster acceleration and gas consumption.
Some secondaries are vacuum operated and some are Mechanical. Vacuum operated ones only operate when there is a set amount a vacuum present (low vacuum).. The Mechanical one open regardless of vacuum but depend on how much throttle you are giving it.

What is a carburetors kickdown?

Actually, the kickdown is what causes the transmission to downshift into second gear when the throttle is almost wide open. Also referred to as passing gear. There will be a rod, cable, or even an electic device that goes between the butterfly/throttle body control and the actuator/pressure valve on the transmission. On newer cars, it is controlled entirely by the PCM. Carburators have multiple stage throat openings that open in series as power is demanded of the car. By "kicking" donw or stepping on the gas pedal to the floor for a short period ALL of the intake throats open at once and the car can deliver the maximum torque. So if you have a four or a six barrel carburetor then all the barrels pen up with gas and air flowing thru each one! POWER!


Will putting a four barrel on a 2 barrel intake add horse power?

Yes, at wide open throttle only. However, the extra unburned fuel is abrasive to the cylinder walls and will where out the engine alot sooner...not to mention the cost of fuel. Horse power produced is limited by the amount of fuel mixture through the heads among other things.
