180e AFM pot replacement

Even though the pot determines acceleration enrichment, this is off-idle operation and is not as likely where it would be worn.

Thanks for the reply Steve
Do you have any thoughts on what else might be causing the hesitation, if not the pot? With only 65000km on the clock I admit that I was a bit surprised that the pot would be worn enought to cause this problem but from searching this and the 190revolution forums there seems to be a fairly consistent link between a worn pot and acceleration hesitation. I'm open to any other possibilities though. I had considered the O2 sensor and the OVP but couldn't find any posts that indicated a correlation between a dud O2 sensor or OVP and this kind of hesitation.

Thanks
