Default clutch engagement after rev the engine high

i have the cover offf and did some tranny work put it all back togather and it seem as if the primary clutch wont engage until the engine is reved pretty high before it even starts to slide over and catch the belt the belt is new could it be the spring

so you never had this running before now to see if it would engage high? if not chances are they have a high engagemnt spring or a complete clutch kit in to bring the rpm's up into the power band.

no i did ride it and it did engage real high in the rpm band but he took the pipe off i believe because it was real loud he said but the spring looked stock when i took it out it was black but had the ends painted

Either the clutch is worn/binding or you have the wrong weight/spring combination.

If the spring was worn/weak it would engage early, not late. I would check the bushings and rollers for wear if they are ok start checking spring/weight combinations.
