I've done 280 miles on a freshly rebuilt motor and she died, went down onto one cylinder then popped and farted then stopped altogether
I did a compression check and it's low on the rear cylinder and has quite a lot of exhaust valve clearance.
Adjusted this and re checked compression and is now even lower.
there are several possibilities including a naffed camshaft.
If this is the case I didn't notice any lack of power and was pretty cautious of my surroundings.
the last run I did was 100miles a day for two days.
I wouldn't have expected the cam to be so worn down 'off the cam' as it were.
other option is a burnt valve.
What advice have you folk got, or should I just have a few beers and forget about it?
