Unhappy Hesitating

My `67 bug is hesitating very rough. Basicly when I go into second it seems either the there is not enough gas getting to the carb (32pict), I have checked the fuel line and changed the fuel filter or somehow the fuel is not being burned so it is skipping. I DON'T KNOW. When I get up enough speed it smoothes out mostly in third but not completely.
Any ideas???

Try checking all electrical connections. How old are you spark plugs?

Thanks for the responses,
I am not sure which of the remedies I did that made it work smooth, but at least now she has had a full tune up and I cleaned up the carb. Thanks again.
