    It sounds to me like the secondary metering rods are not responding to the air valve opening. You can check this by observing them with the air cleaner removed. With the engine off, slowly open the air valves. The metering rod hanger between the air valves should rise as the air valves open. These carbs are known for eating the cam operating the hanger, which will allow extra air, but no fuel. Qjets are complex, but knowing what to observe simplifies these to child's play. Ray

    The secondary cams for all of the Qjets are the same. The differences come from the metering rods and hangers. My concern involves the point of hesitation. If this occurs off idle or on light tip-in, the secondaries are not the issue. The ratios for the 2004R are somewhat higher numerically, meaning that the carb should have been a little rich. If you advise me of EXACTLy what is happening, I can help you. Let me know... Ray
