I just aqquired what I think is a 60's lil indian bike. The bike has a 2hp briggs motor. The previous owner painted the frame nice, new wheels, tires, and chain. While I am sure this is not the original motor, it seems good. It starts easily and sounds nice. My question is, it won't pull me from a dead stop. And confronted with any kind of uphill it can't do it. Am I expecting to much from the 2hp motor or is something not rite? I weigh 215 lbs. Is the clutch adjustable or do they wear out? Should I look for a 4 or 5hp motor?
