    I have a problem. I just rebuilt the carb on my original 60k Riv (very clean) and the car is leaking nothing. It is solid and the tranny shifts smooth. But when I press on the gas pedal hard, there is a hesitation between the gas pedal and the linkage on the carb. It almost acts like its flooding it sputters almost for a second sometimes, but then it catches and takes off (burning some rubber). If I manuall open up the carb it roars with no heistation. The linkage is kinda bent but I had my mechanic look at it and he works on these things all the time and he cant figure it out. Any suggestions???

    thanks everyone!!!
