Poor throttle response at initial turn
When I turn the throttle to start moving from a stop there is a slight hesitation then it kicks in. This throttle response has changed from immediate a few days ago to this hesitation now. don't know why. any one have any thoughts on this?

Could be a change in temp. and humidity from a few days ago. Was it cooler with less humidity when you had good response, and hotter with more humidity on the day in question?

Somewhere on the Carb is a richening mechinism. May not be working right. If it has a pump that is where the problem is I bet.
