I have a trailboss 325 and in neutral and reverse it revs up like it should, but once I put it in drive it only goes like 20 mph. I put a new primary clutch on it and I put new buttons in the secondary. Don’t know the problem.
Is that all the power its got? are you restricted from going full throttle? you should be able to get the front wheels to popup on the 325.. .Really need wet/dry numbers! It not a clutch belt issue!
I can't say that I know what's wrong with it as I am not working on it, but if I were working on it, I would be inspecting #1) clogged exhaust, #2) lift on the camshaft (possibly a bad lobe and rocker arm causing low valve lift limiting speed), #3) compression and cylinder pressurization - it appeared in the vid that the engine was not revving fully - if the engine is revving higher than it sounded like, then look at the clutches and belt. I would not suspect a problem in the intake system (other than a bad cam) as the engine sounded to me as though it was not blubbering (rich condition) or surging (lean condition). It will be interesting to know what your mechanic discovers as the problem as it might be ignition and none of the above, but I do not suspect ignition at this time.
