Re: Hesitation

Nothing to do with oil unless you are at the south pole..
FUel is delivered on this engine according to manifold pressure, engine coolant temperature, throttle position / rate of change of position. Any one of those
sensors can cause hesitation when depressing the gas pedal.
However, slow initial cranking - battery and starter being OK - might indicate too much advance on timing, which "might" also influence throttle response at slow speed. SInce this one has a rotary distributor, I'd check this first as this is really easy. Retard timing a little just to see. Easy things first.
