Using the same drivetrain losses I worked out for my HDJ80 (set up rear wheel drive only and about 35%) I would expect a 2H with stock tyres and in good condition to make about 60 rear wheel horsepower. Max power for the 2H is delivered at 3500 rpm, so if you're only at 2500 and got heavy tyres and rims, 48 HP may not be unreasonable.One rear brake was dragging but I was able to free it. This made no noticeable difference. I drove up an 8% grade yesterday pulling a small trailer. At WOT I can hold 22 mph. Calculated this takes 24 HP to climb that hill. Everything else between my engine and the road is a loss. It isn't reasonable to expect more than 50% loss in the vehicle is it? If 50% I'd be pushing 48HP at the rpm of around 2500 during the climb. On flat highway I can hit 55mph floored.
Does this seem acceptable for a 2H with 250,000 km?
I may have to test the compression and injectors?

It starts almost immediately cold or hot, no smoke white, black or oil burning. I am pretty sure the valve core i used is causing a low reading. I'll get another one tomorrow to check it.
Anyone know how to tell if the max fuel setting is somehow restricted? This is an automatic so no edic or governor diaphragm or HAC. There is a 'Stop Lever' on FU-34 of 2H engine manual that has nothing connected to it. Anyone know?
