I recently purchased this 1990 California III and after taking to a mechanic for a post-purchase inspection, when I got it back the bike bucks, misses, pops under any acceleration. It has clip-on carb air filters and the thought is that they are the problem, causing over-lean air/fuel mixture.... however it did not do this when I brought it in. The proposed fix is to install an original airbag and intake manifolds, but the parts person says that might not be the answer since it wasn't doing it before bringing it in. The is also a Dyna3 aftermarket coil and an alternative thought is that the advance is sticking or the wires might be loose.
Not sure that is sufficient info but any help would be most appreciated. It is the first day of what was supposed to be a 4 day bike through Southern MN but how it sit's in a bike shop in LaCrosse WI.
