My 85 Spree only does about 33 mph with a tail wind. I weigh over two hundred pounds. I think thats about all you can expect.

Sounds about right. You did, of course, purge out the oil system and you are, of course, using 2T injector oil, not premix.

Clean the head and exhaust port of carbon, per the manual. The exhaust can be cleaned out with a torch, if you have one. At 500 miles, there shouldn't be much of this, though.
