SO... i have an old jato 3.3 I'm trying to fix/tune using the flow chat (high five on that by the way) but i have a small problem my motor will start and run for 1 min no prob but when i give it full it wont go any where i tightened up my slipper on the tranny but now it wont start unless i pick the ass end up once running if i set it down it will die so i losened it back up but now once again have no motion is it as simlpe as roughing up my clutch surface?
 
There are a few things you'll have to check. Make sure the CB and the spur are meshing properly, and the spur isn't stripped.
If you can not hold the spur with a gloved finger while revving the engine, the clutch is probably fine.
Check the wheel hexes and the pins through the drive cups on the ends of all the shafts.
Keep us posted.
 
good call... clutch had blown apart replaced and its running good thanks
