You will have to wait on other peoples comments but my guess would be the clutch? Maybe slipping or engaging to late.

Did you make sure you didn't install the clutch shoes backwards?

It sounds like a clutch problem. Check that the shoes are installed correctly and then check the clutch adjustment.

I can almost guarantee that the shoes are in backwards, or the springs not connected properly. I've taken a few apart for people who got them wrong. Believe it or not, it's not that uncommon of a mistake.

It could also be a loose flywheel. Try revving it up while looking at the flywheel (while the car is on the ground). If it appears to be rotating at the same rate at idle, as it is during revving, you have a loose/worn flywheel.

CLUTH SHOES BACKWARD?I'm sure i installed them the right way ? i will look when i say rev high i dont mean loads just like higher than normal do u still think its the shoes?
also i heard u can bump start these cars how would i do this??

Bump starting is used to actually start the engine in the car not to start the car moving.

i dont understand surely by starting the engine I'm in fact starting the car,
how do i start the engine?

Bump starting is used to actually start the engine in the car not to start the car moving.

Bump starting is just another method of starting the engine. Let's deal with the clutch problem first. When that's been taken care of, we'll get into the other.

I had teh same problem, I took out the shoes and sanded them lightly and that fixed it.
