I replaced my bell clutch and spring but can't get bell to turn spur gear only revs high. It's driving me crazy even put old clutch pads in and same thing,any ideas?

Clutch bell is not spinning freely as it is engaged with the spur gear.i can get a small bit of movement when I first apply throttle but then revs outIs your clutch bell spinning? Will the spur move if you have all four tires up in the air?

Was running it one day when across the parking lot it just reved and didn't go anywhere. So upon inspection everything seemed to be functioning, figured it was clutch spring .took the bell off and it was stretched big time and pads were worn so much that you could see where they were sliding under bell a bit.You may want to pull the motor out and see if the the clutchbell spins freely also make sure that the clutch shoes and springs are installed correctly. While you have it out turn the spur gear by hand to make sure you do not have any binding anywhere in the drive train.
What was the original problem that made you change the clutch out?
They mesh up perfect,when I turn spur gear bell spins too but obviously fly wheel doesn't. The wheels will turn but almost like some resistance cause certain points spur handspring to it,if your finger slips off spur it will spin backwards.Was running it one day when across the parking lot it just reved and didn't go anywhere.

So now got motor out (again lol) bell spins like a top. Truck is elevated wheels off ground can spin spur with finger and wheels will turn.
