83 with carb issues

I just picked up a nice 4cyl 5spd Ranger... it runs great, no smoke, but its a bear to crank when cold...and after its running, when you try to make it pick up speed it will "bog out" and not want to accelerate.

I've yet to make her pull past 3rd gear...and i don't know what to do about this progressive 2v carb i have.... (It may indeed be a 1v carb...but it has 2 barrels on top.)


Anybody have any suggestions to this new ranger owner? Or did i just make a $850 dollar mistake and shoot myself in the foot at the same time??

Any input is appreciated!
