Kitchen faucet stutters badly when in the hot position. The sink was hooked up to older pipes when remodeled, but is the only one that does it. Ideas?

I'd look at the washer to the hot shutoff under the sink... could have a loose washer. Here, shut off the water supply to the house and then remove the guts to the hot shutoff... should be a loose washer that should be easy to swap out... ;)

The issue could be up in the sink faucet, too, but since cold water is NOT chattering I'd start at the hot shutoff under the sink.
