Blaster over revs badly while driving but basically no power

clutch is not to much money,also make sure your airscrew on carb is set at 1 1/2 turns out from fully seated,or dang close
Do the revs increase when under throttle without the ground speed increasing?
If so that is clutch slip.
If it seems to rev by itself and then lack power, that could be an air leak or fuel starvation.

If there is some slack in the cable the usual culprit are the clutch fibre plates themselves.
Do you know what oil is in the transmission?

Also how much do you think it will cost for the fiber plates. The clutch is pretty stiff when pulling on it i was thinking that might just be the cable its self
not sure how this got to 35 posts fishing for problems, the answer was given in post #4, clutch slip. it's shot.
just get the whole kit, fibers/plates/springs for under $40.............

Now how on earth would someone get WD 40 on the clutch plates, the Mind boggles.
On the Cable.
On the Cable.
just for the record, I and millions of others have been succesfully using wd-40 on cables for years.
it flushes out water, (it's main purpose) which causes cable rust.
and repels new water from entering the cable,
along with flushing out water, it also flushes out mud, dirt, sand and any other debris which may be binding your cable.
it also contains light petroleum lubricants, which eases cable sliding within the internal teflon sheath.
thats right, teflon, impervious to the plastic eating properties of WD-40.
so it's is a pefrectly acceptable practice to flush/lubricate your cables with WD-40.
been doing it for years with nothing but positive results and zero side effects.
is it a long term lubricant...NO, but works great in a pinch, and may need done often, but again...that removes water and debris.
you may also choose to use commercially available cable lubes, but flushing with WD-40 is a good idea to clean the cable before applying cable lubes.
light machine oil as a cable lube....NO !
i have seen it suggested, it only attracts and holds dirt. sand and other debis in the cable, causing binding. IMO
if you've been misinformed to use such a thing, try flushing with WD-40, and report your results back here.
better yet, i may start a "what do you use WD-40 for" thread for us who know the truth to post our results.
then we'll move on to a duct tape and it's 1 million uses thread
