Does it have the proper amount of fluid?

Does the fluid smell burnt in any way?

Is the kick-down on the carb working properly?

I'm thinking it's the kick-down linkage thats the problem. If the return spring is weak or missing, it could cause that.

yeah, the lever would stay down causing it to stay in 2nd, or it could be real badly adjusted.
