A choke working correctly will reduce air into the carb allowing A richer mixture and also raise the curb idel at the same time if the linkage is adjusted correctly. Without the air the choke has reduced the engine will have a hard time performing correctly. Additional advance at times will help gain performance but only if the fuel mixture is rich enough to reduce pre ignition. No benefits can be gained with those two ideas.
The only two barrel carbs I know of without accelerator pumps are the secondary carbs used on factory tri power assembly's. Those factory systems work extremely well but all three carbs are designed for the purpose.
