The following describes the problem I had with my '87 Westy.  I sure had a hard time describing it to local mechanics and others.  Hesitation, intermittent power, bucking... and hits on the net depends on the choice of words.  I tried hacking a capacitor in myself, which helped, but didn't fix it.  I didn't have precisely the right capacitor.  I ended up finding the recommended harness.  Completely fixed it.
