Sggoat has 2 great ideas. Get the glass filter...they are great. And if you do need a new fuel pump...do call BENO, they are still available and are the way to go.

Oh ok rite on. I was also wondering, when I went to lordco a parts place here they have the whole distributor. But is that what they would be selling me, what you said earlier, the cap, rotor and points?

A points oem style distributer just like what you have? Or is it a DUI

Pretty sure it's a points distributor. What's a DUI? Driving under the influence lol.

DUI is basically a GM copy design to be used in other applications
if your not that acustom to replacing the dizzy (distributer) than i would just replace the components ... cap & rotor and clean the points (using points file... a wife's nail file also works ... dont tell her
)
I would consider maybe hooking up with a local cruiser head in your area for assistance if you were to replace the dizzy.... see link for local clubs >>> https://forum.ih8mud.com/categories/north-american-clubhouses-west-region.202/
you dont want to just start throwing money at the cruiser... better to find the specific issue and correct it

This may be back tracking a bit, but what carb are you running? Stock or something else?
I had a similar issue to what you were describing. I have a weber 38 carb. It was sputtering at higher rpm's etc. I changed the fuel filters with no success. I decided to rebuild the carb and when I did I found that there was a a small mesh fuel filter at the fuel inlet of the carb. It was completely packed with rust. I also have a poly tank like you do. My guess is that the carb fuel filter had never been changed or cleaned (or at least it was not changed for some time before the poly tank was installed)
It may be worth a look in the case that you have a filter on your carb.
Good luck
