Grant,
Go out to the car and pull out the choke. Pop the hood and look at where the
cables attach to the carbs. You will see a curved bit of metal that rides on
the head of a bolt. Make sure that this curved bit is in approximately the
same position on both carbs.
I bet that the cable on one of these is loose and you are only choking one
carb.
