Maybe it's not revving high enough to engage the clutch bell. Fix suggestion #1: Increase the idle speed and lean-out the high-end needle by turning it clockwise by small increments.

Check to ensure the clutch is okay--that a spring is not broken. Replace clutch if necessary.

Check to ensure all the transmission gears are engaging and transferring to the drive-train. Tighten loose set screws on gears if necessary.

Hope something helps.

PEACE!

Had the same thing happen to me and the problem was I over tighten the two bolts that hold the clutch on and it wouldn't let it engage so loosen off those and you'll be good to go. I had to get used to not torquing the crap out of everything on mine. That should be your problem before you go and do 15 other things to it.
