Do you have a 009 distributor? (No vacuum advance)
Is your carburettor a 34 pict 3? (written on side)
Generally a hesitation could be ignition timing, running lean under load or if vacuum advance distributor used, could be dodgey vac line. Could even
be an accelerator pump.
vw-resource.com has some good tech data.
