Hans,

My experience is that the symptoms you describe point to a fuel/air 
mixture that is too lean.   As you noted and another lister suggested, 
when you pull out the choke, it seems to "cure" the symptoms.  Pulling out 
the choke enrichs the mixture.  Therefore, my humble guess is that your 
carbs need to be adjusted towards a slightly "richer" setting.  I actually 
run the carbs in my car a little on the rich side on purpose because it 
seems to really help the off-the-line accelleration and cold running.  I 
have not seen a drawback yet except maybe in slightly worse fuel economy 
but even that is not very noticeable to me.

Especially when the engine is cold it is at worst. 
When hesitating then the engine sometimes backfires in the carburattors.

Cheers,
