Question 98 scrambler idles great but no go in gear!!!!

98 scrambler idles great but no go in gear!!!! In park or neutral I can rev it as high as i'd like and it doesn't skip a beat....Put it in gear and go down the road and she looses everything. Thought fuel changed that and cleaned tank, pulled carb cleaned carb, jets,I'm at a loss have no more ideas what can be wrong??? Anyone???? Ideas???? Like I said I've cleaned anything I can think of getting good spark but she loads up pull the plug and it's soaked but running ask it to move...I could push it uphill faster...no power!! reeds maybe IDK!!!!!

Is this seriously the fix for it. My 99 sport once in gear has the power of a kids electric bike, this sucks so bad. I thought it was the clutch

The reverse limiter can cause all sorts of problems but I would chack the seconday clutch buttons in both cases.
