2012 Honda Pilot — carbureted engine stumbles on quick throttle input

2012 Honda Pilot EX-L, about 179,000 miles. Idle is decent and steady cruising is fine, but a quick tip-in makes the engine stumble. Would you verify ignition timing before chasing accelerator-pump calibration?

Owner notes beat generic advice here. On the 2012 Honda Pilot in Northern Virginia, I'd fix the thing you'll notice every day before chasing spec-sheet extras. I'd do that before spending real money. On “carbureted engine stumbles on quick throttle input,” that was the fork that mattered for me. I'd want a dollar figure or a measured spec, not 'should be fine.' If your situation is the opposite, ignore me. I'd rather look cautious in this thread than stuck later.
