I have been going through this thing on and off for a while and still don't quite have it yet. I have done rebuild kits on both the carb and fuel pump. I have new spark plugs in it and just recently checked the point gap. The motor fires up every time but it has a hesitation and i almost would rather call it a "jerk" where the motor kind of kicks side to side. The points seem to look ok but i was considering changing them. Any help would be much appreciated!!

I would try pulling one plug wire at a time when it"s running and see if one cylinder or both affected. You did not mention at what rpm this happens. If the points are clean and adjusted properly, try checking all under flywheel connections for clean and tight. It sounds like a condenser to me.
