did you try swapping out your condenser. I had the same problem on my 36 and that fixed it.

I had the same problem with my 38pu. Hesitated/bucked under load only. Idled great. But once you take it for a run it would run poorly.

Switch out the condenser ($10), cleaned the points, and rotor contacts. Now it runs like it should.

Good luck!
