Throttle hesitation

Hey guys I got a 03 predator. ..I recently rebuilt it …high compression piston new jug and valves all was well upon fire up …then starter clutch went .. (common on these )…replaced that …but when I give it quick shots of throttle it hesitates …I have cleaned the carb many times …I have moved the needle up and down and been up and down on main jets …air screw to doesn’t change this either …and ideas? …I am a good mechanic …but this one is pissing me off…only because if you go smoothly threw the rpms there isn’t a issue …just quick shots …i also have replaced the intake manifold cause old one was cracked …if anyone has had this issue and solved it please enlighten me thanks
