    then the clutch is engaging too early, change the clutch springs for stronger ones. If you look at the ones that are in, count the coils, you've probably got six coils at the moment, change them for springs with 5 coils first, see how that goes, then if you think it still a bit boggy change them for 4 coils.

    I have tried the clutch from strongest to weakest with every combination of all torque springs and still no luck so I'm really stuck

    I've just had a similar problem on an NRG;
    if your mate is agreeable, can you use his entire clutch setup, clutch bell included, fit it with stronger springs, and try that.
    The nrg i mentioned, i had to put it back to standard everything clutch wise, other wise it just wouldn't pull until 20mph.
    Where about in the world are you located?

    It's just been doing my head in.... And I'm from north east england close to hartlepool, when I had his whole rear pulley clutch set up in mine it revved before pulling therefor better acceleration, the thing I don't understand is that my clutch is engaging earlier even though I have the strong springs fitted

    It's got to be the clutch - not stiff enough and / or the mixture screw and possibly that the variator needs a washer (like in the video). But you need to put stiffer springs in the clutch for a start. I use black Omega springs in my Gal's Malossi delta - (which are so stiff that actually getting the buggers in there requires some fairly hefty hardware and not a little effort).
    For my scoot - even that is not enough. The wings of the clutch have been removed and drilled identically in a drill press to remove weight. Less weight requires more revs before they stick. If the clutch is like the one in the photo, take it apart, put the wings in a vice and saw off the last 10mm of the wing. Alloy, pad, the lot. 10 mm. Then weigh them to make sure they weigh the same. Adjust with a file (or a Dremel) - put it back together with the stiffest springs you can find and tell us how it went.

    What I don't understand is I have tried really hard spring in my clutch and it hasn't improved. But when I try my friends totally standard clutch and springs it revs nicely before pulling. Mine just pulls straight away but with no power, could this be down to mine been brand new and the pads may be a little bit worn down on his therefore having to stretch further to contact the bell?

    Quite possibly. Or it's possible that your bell is too small for the clutch and it's contacting too soon. What brand of clutch is it ? Polini ?
    Have you set the adjustable bits as far in as they will go ?
