Have you check your exhaust manifold. Mine have small crack in manifold and the engine stutter and backfire at 3000rpm. When the manifold have bigger crack, the engine run good, but the sound of the car become rough.. (until now the exhaust has not been repaired)

Check and go through all of cruisers tips. Just google cruisers renix tips and you'll find it. Personally indexing my distributor got mine to stop backfiring in the mid range.
