Dwight,
The original carb on my '49 flatfender was a Ball & Ball, but it had a vacuum operated accelerator pump. Even when I rebuilt it and adjusted it, it still had a noticeable hesitation.
I've heard that's just a characteristic of carbs with vacuum operated accelerator pumps. My new B & B carb with the mechanical acclerator pump does not hesitate at all.
