Still fighting the hesitation problem. Decided to take my race car friend's advise and drill out the accelerator pump nozzle to .031 (currently .028). This should put a little more gas out when accelerator pump is advanced. But when I took off the carb last night and removed the pump nozzle, I noticed the little gasket under the nozzle had an inside diameter which was just barely large enough for the screw that goes thru it. It appears that it could be restricting the amount of gas that can be pumped up thru the nozzle. So I searched thru my carb kit, which has myriads of gaskets that were not needed for my carb rebuild, and found a gasket that fits and has a larger inside diameter. Perhaps it is the one that was supposed to have gone on it to begin with. So I put it all together and backon the boat. Tonight I'll put it on the muffs, fire it up, and see if the hesitation problem has changed. If not, then I'll go back again and drill out the nozzles. Will let you all know how it goes.
