engine hesitation issues Options

[rosenfe]

my 73 2.0 started hesitating just this week when i rev at end of 1,2,3 gear,acts as though its not getting fuel,and it will just die if i come to an stop.i can get it started again,but it takes a bit of cranking. it will then run well and i have to keep revs up to avoid it dying at a stop .i changed fuel filters,have not changed tank sock.fuel pump is running.it has 2- 34 carbs, fairly new..


is this enough info to get some opinions.i wonder if either the fuel sock is full of crap or fuel pump is bad.it too is fairly new.

so im following up with my fuel starvation issue.after changing sock,filters i still had the problem.in fact now i was getting no fuel to pump at all.pump works,but i realized that plastic fuel hose to rubber taper hose from 9.5mm to 8 was old and getting crimped with the bend required to turn 90 degrees and connect to filter and pump.

i dont want to replace plastic to stainless steel at this time,but did notice that tangerine has a short curved ss line that is the same as rubber taper hose with 9.5 on one end to fit over plastic fuel hose and 8 on other end ot fit fuel hose to filter and pump.

im trying to think of any alternative way to bush down without having to buy ss hose from tangerine.any ideas,its a tight fit with pump pressure regulator and filters.
