Ran into an interesting issue on my 360 today. A few months ago, I was having a problem with a loss of power/bog combined with an extremely unsteady idle. I replaced the condenser and the issue went away. This week, the bike had similar symptoms with additional backfiring. Turns out, the condenser was never really bad. The issue was it wasn't getting a solid ground via the mounting bolts. I connected a wire from ground to the condenser to test and the issues disappeared.

All this to say, if you're experiencing these symptoms, check the ground on your condenser.
