Default Hesitation when throttle up?

I am having a slight hesitation when I give it throttle. I changed the plugs just a few weeks ago. Gapped them properly and ran fine for a bit now I am having the hesitation while going through the gears, just at first after a gear change it spits or sputters a bit then no issues. Any ideas? 77 FLH 74 cubic in all orig.
Thanks
D

the acc pump boot has gone away or the sprayer tube is clogged - you willl have to overhaul the carb and i would sugest sonic cleaning the carb - most boat yards have that little machine and will do it for you -- jz
