take the clutch cover off and see how the clutches are working and check the belt. see if the belt is setting up in the secondary(big clutch)while its idling or shut off and when you rev it up in netural see if the belt goes down in the secondary and up in the primary(small engine clutch). the belt should be setting above the big clutch about 1/8". if this is ok take off the secondary clutch(one center bolt) and check the 3 plastic buttons on the inside where the helix slides. chances are they are worn out which will cause it to do what your refering too. imo.
