RE: [T3] Carburetor Hesitation


This might sound overly simplistic, but when you start tinkering with dual
carbs you tend to look for the more complicated things first.
I had a similar issue with my 40idfs. I messed with them for hours and then,
I noticed that my linkage was off by just a little and needed adjusting.
This may not be the case for you, but I thought I would bring it up in case.

Fess=> a large hesitation when you give it a little gas.

I know mostly nothing about oversize carbs, but I've seen this sort of 
problem, and in your place I'd be looking for overfueling from the 
acceleration circuit. Try leaning that out a bit and see if it doesn't 
improve.

If you've got a mechanical-advance-only distributor, particularly an 
009, that's a likely contributing factor.
