I think he's trying to say that when he guns it hes not going anywhere, sounds like it might be a slipping clutch.

It might be the clutch, if what you were saying meant that when you open the throttle when moving, and the revs just rise and ride with no real extra speed, then yeah it probably is clutch :)

Let us know how you get on

Slipping clutch for sure a new set of steels and plates i would invest in some standard springs as well just to make sure

And dont rev it again or you will need some valves and a head and some pistons to go with it :smt003

Good luck
