This may be a longshot but what diameter tires are you running on the back? I have run up to 27" diameter tires on 16" rims and the stumble definitely increases with larger tire diameter. 1st to 2nd gear is the worst.

Sounds like ur missing all the lower shroud and thermostat.I believe those carbs are idle 52 main 130 an we went 57 an 140.I u haven't done so already. Drive it where the problem is worst,kill the engine check the sparkplug color.Too rich will make it hesitate also.Idle air screws can help some if u keep it on the rich side.Just check that the plugs aren't black.
Sidecar I just have the tins on top of the jugs and of course the fan shroud. Is there anything I am missing?
VW driver I am running 16 inch rims and the tires are 26" tall. Mine seems the worst from 2nd to 3rd and 3rd to 4th. I have kits for the carbs so I am going to put them in. I would like to know the stock jets for the Empi 34 epc so I can check them when I have the carbs down. Whatever they came with.
Stock 165R15 VW tires are about 241/2" tall, that is what the gear ratios in the VW trans were designed for. Yours are taller. I have found that with oversize tires that I had to wind the engine out higher before changing gears so it wouldn't lug which can cause a stumble.
Stock jets on a 35 PICT 3 are 55 and 127.5. Just re-jetted ours to 60 and 130 and got rid of the stumble. Finally!!epper: Now...on to other bugs to work out!! LOL!!
