Default Holley 94 hesitation

On a Holley 94 is there something that comes to mine that could cure hesitation off a Rollin stop . Mounted on a smooth running 8ba , no other issue other then this hesitation .
I've done a search but couldn't fine any good topic on the above .
The hesitation isn't bad but noticeable ..... Thanks in advance for and imput ....

Step,
Ball check on the bottom of the acc pump bore not sealing on the down stroke. With the air horn off actuate the throttle arm briskly and see if there is a gush in the bowl when the arm is actuated, that's showing fuel is returning to the bowl stealing some volume from the acc pump. A plug in one of the squirter nozzles. Then a sort
of obscure cause, but it happens, beneath the squirter is a brass plunger with a point
on the down side. That point seals an orifice blah blah blah......if that point does not seat and seal the orifice you will ,shall I say, get a momentary blank spot. This blank spot is not a real big deal but it is a pita. Remove the squirter and using a small punch
and a smaller hammer tap the plunger to establish a seat. After the tap flip the carb over to be sure the plunger hasn't found a permanent home.

Also check the vacuum advance. I had one with an incorrect advance unit that made the timing come up slow.

Had the same experience as Frank. Finally found distributor advance was the problem.

If there is nothing wrong with the carb or timing, you may be able to turn the air adjusting screws in to fix it. If so you will have to set the idle screw up.
