Summary: accelerator pump in carb is the problem

The problem you described of hesitating when you floor it is a *classic* case
of a probelm with the accelerator pump *in the carburator*.  The guys that
worked on your carb must be a bunch of incompetent fools.  Why don't you
try tellng them what the problem is caused by and then see if they can fix
it.  (But don't take my word for it.  Buy a book on carburators that
includes information on troubleshooting.)  Make them fix it.  This is
definately a carburation problem.  (I dealt with this problem more
than once back in the days when I drove what I could afford--and that meant
$400 vehicles--and did my own work too.)

Darn.  There I go babbling on again.   My fingers typed this without
my company's or my brain's knowledge.
