The reason that you could only type a few characters is that the text is set to "Centered".  Wherever you start typing on a path, the text wants to center itself on that spot, so the text that wants to move toward the left of center has nowhere to go.  If you have Centered text then you need to start typing near the center of your path. If you change the text to be Left-Justified then you can start typing from the beginning of the path.
