There is some trick where you grind a bit off the valve stems on the 5 HP because of the easy pull start system keeps the valve open untill just befor TDC, and if you set the tappits at the point its on that ramp on the cam it boosts compression a bit

Have you got plenty of Tyre pressure? I run some $8 deestone sack barrow tyres. They seem to last a long time for me and im pretty heavy and ride it on all kinds of rocks and shit
