2004 Gator HPX running erratic, hesitation

Good job Kyle. Mud daubers caused my camper AC to be very loud this summer.

Done. And muffler too, muffler still has it's exit screen.

I have the same gator HPX. I had a similar problem a few years back. I traced it down to leaking intake manifold gasket. Would suck air sometimes creating a stumble upon acceleration (this was around 1800 hrs). Change fuel filter often as well. Also I had to change the needle valves from wear at one point. These engines can be very finicky.
