Also, check to see if the throttle shaft is worn and has any play in it which could be a source for an air leak.

(A) bracket bolting to throttle shaft with a round hole that becomes elongated
(B) Rod from bracket (A) to cross arm which wears a groove
If either the bracket or the rod wear as above, a hesitation can certainly occur. Replacing these parts often will eliminate a hesitation if the carb is the culprit.
A misfunctioning distributor will also cause a hesitation.

Good carburetion is fuelish hot airThe most expensive carburetor is the wrong one you attempt to modify. If you truly believe "one size fits all," try walking a mile in your spouse's shoes!The Carburetor Shop | | |
