I assume that both the main filter and pre filter were replaced?

Is the throttle linkage all free (no binding) and properly lubricated?

Are the engine mounts OK? (Does the engine sit in the right position and not move excessivly when throttle is first applied?)

Fuel hoses OK, no leaks? All the way back to the tank?

Could the hesitation be transmission? I believe this one probably starts in second gear normally.

Could it be a tank full of bad fuel?

If everything else checks out, I believe i would get it checked for chain stretch and injection timing.
