[T3] Carburetor Hesitation

[fess <fess-vwtype3.org@fess.org>]

<x-flowed>
Next major issue on my '67 square was the fact that it has a large 
hesitation when you give it a litte gas.
If  I start releasing the clutch in that period [ as was natural for 
me, ] I would stall it. In order to drive it I would have to gas it, 
let it rev up passed the hesitation and let out the clutch for a more 
moderatly fast start, so needless to say I wasn't driving it too much.

This is a darksider motor, it's a 2275, with dual weber 44idfs.
[ Is the darkside of this list as strong as the lightside? *grin*]

I got it into the mechanic because carburetor issues confuse me. I 
think  understand my '72 FI square better. [ FI seems so nice. :) ]

He has the carbs balanced, timing, tuneup, all that stuff done. However 
after the first day didn't have it figured out, and is going to get 
some advice from a friend of his.  I told him I could ask the list what 
they thought, and he gave me all the info to pass on.

It's:

2275cc

Dual Webber 44 idfs with,

            chokes: 36mm
Air correction Jet:  175
        Mains jets:  135 [ tried  150 too, didn't change noticibly. ]
    Emulsion tubes: F11
         idle jets: 50

(chokes or Upper venturis, he didn't like when I just called them 
venturis, what's the more common word? )

Engle 120 Grind Cam
1 6/8"  exhaust headers.
Short manifolds, and short air cleaners to let the lid close.

He predicts that the advice will be to go with smaller [ 32mm? ] 
chokes/venturis but says that we'll sacrifice a lot of power that way.  
He thinks we're fighting against the short manifolds, and exhaust 
headers that are possibly to large.  I think he also thought someone 
might suggest F7  emulsion tubes.

On top of all that he thinks the restricted air flow from the short air 
cleaners is
probably robbing a lot of power.

Thoughts and opinions greatly appreciated.
