After about 200 km of running great, my Hausheng lost its uumpf !
It starts fine, and runs good downhill (or on the stand), but on level or uphill it labours. Have to pedal where previously I got 30+ km/h ?
I think I may have pushed it to hard before being run in. Did about 150 km on fairly level ground before I went downtown with it. Going there is downhill all the way, coming back there is one very steep hill. I had to pedal hard, with engine fully open - barely made it to the top. On the following level stretch it didn't feel lively anymore. Next day worked fine downtown, but had to pedal all the way back.
Did I break something?
I have a small engine book (doesn't cover this engine specifically) and followed its instructions to check:
fuel flow
air intake
compression (thumb test)
I changed the oil at 150 km
On the stand it runs fine - sputters now and again at top revs (with small smoke puff), but it always hesitated when going over 55 km/h
How long before this engine is run in?
Please help!
