Have a 83 110 honda. starts and idles great. when i shift to first and run on flat land it runs great. but if i stop on a slight incline and try to go up it i cant. i can jam the throttle down and it revs just fine but no go. it shifts in to all the gears and reverse just fine. (on flat land). i have read a couple things it could be. 1. a bad ground wire some wear. which it could be cause the start switch is broken. 2. carb issues. i did some small adjustments but no change. 3. a vacuum issue. i did some of these test with out the air filter. i was hopeing some one of great know how could help me out. its getting to cold to be doing test all day. could it be a oil issue. semi automatic clutch.

Pull the dipstick out. Does it smell like burnt clutch?

[vegasbuddy]

in dont know what burnt clutch smells like.

[smokinwrench]

If you smell it you will know the smell, about as foul as burnt up electrical components.

[vegasbuddy]

do you think it needs a new clutch or just the plates.

[smokinwrench]

I would assume your gonna need both plates and disks. Normally when you burn up a clutch the plates will get warped.
