I presume you and others who choose to use the Weber downdraft carb 
are aware that there is an adjustment available for the accelerator 
pump?  This hesitation you describe might be cured by 
setting the pump adjustment to feed more or less petrol upon movement 
of the throttle.  As I recall, there are two holes that one can select from 
regarding this adjustment, one of which gives greater movement of the 
pump mechanism.  Would be interested in results.
