fitted with a nova virtus the car won`t move till it`s at almost full throttle.

and when it does, it doesn`t seem to have a 2nd speed. thing is i`m not sure if it`s running only on 2nd speed not engaging the 1st.

when i throttle, flywheel`s spinning, pinon gears moves. no issue with the spurs either.

when i manually move the belts and gears with my hand, the car moves forward.

what could be the issue? does anyone have a similiar experience? i`ve rebuilt the clutch according to the box settings.

appreciate any help.

thanks
It sounds like your clutch spring nut is too tight. Start it off level like is the instructions. Tighten your 2 speed so you know it starts in 1st gear. You can adjust the 2 speed later. You said this is a second hand car I would check the clutch shoe (Is it worn down)? is your gap .4.to.6 and end play should be close to .1
