    It does doesn't it turbo........stinks of clutch springs too weak.
    Had exactly the same in my zips clutch after i put the gear-up in, had to put the stiffest springs in i could get to stop it coming out too early. After that, no problems at all.
    Do a search on Omega clutch springs and compare them to what you have in now and see the difference.

    I can photograph the difference. It's not subtle. The steel that the springs are made of is visibly thicker.
    The blue springs are the stiffest if it's Polini. Try some other ones.
    The whole thing is a bit of a juggling act but I've never had a clutch that didn't need modifying/hacking/drilling to work properly with my High end set ups (Metrakit Pro Race, Malossi MHR team ) -. The Sport Pro just about scrapes by as it has more low end torque but you still have to fiddle with the richness screw on the carb if the weather changes abruptly.
    So the order is:
    Make the clutch stiffer by using stiffer springs/removing mass from the wings (hacking the ends off).
    Experiment with the richness screw. In principle this will mean tightening it in 1/4 of a turn or so giving a richer mixture at the start (but it all depends where you are now - so if it makes it worse, go the other way)
    If all else fails, get some top perf washers (or use a well flattened spark plug washer if you can't get the Top Perf ones - it will be a little thick - but it will work) and put it on the crank before you put the pulley on - like in the video.
    Get a slightly bigger carb. 21 mm Del Orto is perfect. This will even-out the carburation and give you more torque (providing it's set up properly). Bigger than 21 tends to work against you on start up as the actual velocity of the air in the venturi is slower than in a 21 (Think of a hosepipe. Smaller aperture equals faster jet of water).

    I will put the strongest springs in I currently have and play with my clutch to make it lighter :)
