Something else you might want to try. Advance the initial timing to about 10 degrees. Sometimes this will fix a hesitation.
Thanks Paul. I've played with the timing all the way up to a slight ping and still have it. The really annoying thing about this accelerator pump linkage is that once the rod is installed in the winter position, the linkage for the secondaries blocks it from being removed. Looks like I'll have to take the carb off and disassemble to get this out and move it. Really poor design. Hate to go all through this and still have the problem.

I have spent a lot of time and effort trying to make this system work properly. I actually have improved it very dramatically. I still work and don't have the time to spend with this. With very few people still around who know how to fix them, sorting these things out is difficult. That's why I've decided to slowly gather up everything I need and convert it to a 57 setup. I predicted that the purists would jump all over me - and they have. But it shouldn't have to be this hard. While I like working on cars. I have five of them. This one costs me
80 percent of my time and is driven the least.
