One of those modifications mentions cutting the gasket that goes over 
the power circuit cover (the little cover on top with two screws)- 
after I did that on my '65 my hesitation problems disappeared. There 
were also several parts missing from the accelerator pump / power 
circuit as well which I had to end up making.

I would say a lot of hesitation problems you hear about them are from 
lazy mechanics that don't put them back together properly or leave bits 
out.
