Check the small link that connects the throttle arm to the accel pump rod. The center hole in the throttle lever must not be a sloppy fit. Thats where you might get a hesitation when you give it gas from idle as depressing the gas pedal the first 1/4" does not start pushing the accel pump down till the slop is taken up. Where the bottom of the 2 pins go into the throttle lever.I have new ones if you need.If the hole is really worn bad like egg shapped you could braze it up and redrill it to the pin diam. must be a good fit. Not sloppy. ken ct.
