ive put roughly 100-120 miles on my zeda 80 mounted on a big 700c road bike ( 54 tooth sprocket). recently ive been having MAJOR lose of power on hills that it used to bring me up no problem (roughly 15-20 up the hills no problem with no assist needed by pedaling) now it wont even make it half way up most of the hills even with assisting pedaling.
issues started when i had a souder give on on my magneto ( was giving off and on issues right b the souder gave out) i replaced it and i got spark back but now has ALOT less power. 1 other detail is it will only run "right" in the top most clip spot on the needle (used to be set to 3rd down) other wise acts like its drowning itself in gas of RIDICULOUS 4 stroking at all but barely any throttle.
what ive tried is 1 clean carb
2 opened head and replaced head-gasket and re-seated rings to be safe (seems to be getting ALOT hotter REALLY fast too)
3 tried all clip positions on needle
4 checked if exhaust was clogged or anything
5 changed to fresh premixed gas (ranging form 16:1 - 40:1
kinda at a loss here (new to motorized bikes but ive done some small engine work)
ANY input is help kinda dont wanna turn it into a extra large paper weight if i can help it ...
live in WV if there is any locals who are willing to help (given the covid stuff going around understand anybody being hesitant)
