Also does anyone know the upper length or part number for the speedo cable for crusie cotrol. this si the cable that runs from the speedometer to the cruise unti itself. I have the one from the crusie unti to trans. but missing the upper cable
Another thing to check is the o-ring on the dipstick tube.

I did plugs, oil filter, fuel filter, changed oil, cleaned up the carb a little bit, pcv valve....will be troubleshooting it this week, just wondering if anyone has any thoughts?
Had a overheating issue last week, changed out the thermostat to a 165, flushed the system and no issues now. Don't know if that would affect the power.

Wondering about your fuel pump. What do your exhaust pipes look like? They real white/ash colored, and 'dry' looking?
Hopefully that's it and it's not a timing chain slopped.

exhaust looks dry as can be, mostly just reddish/rusty looking, not so much white or anything.
My brother was thinking fuel system too. maybe some sediment in the lines, the new filter I bought was different than the one that was on it. went from a long metal to a short plastic....and since it first started doing it on the uphills maybe a fuel feed issue.
Upside is I got my chiltons for it yesterday while I was camping =D

If I had to just go buy a part, I'd buy a fuel pump. Maybe the intank sock/filter. Check the level of the oil in the engine as well, if the fuel pump is on the crankcase and camshaft driven. That seal can fail and put gas in the crankcase. NOT good for the bearings.
There maybe an in line filter in the Carb inlet, that cam plug as well.
