Try adjusting the clutch. Do you have a Haynes manual? Follow instructions and
check adjustment on linkage. Also check the wear on your linkage bushings.
After you check those let us know.

The Haynes manual steps you thru adjusting the linkage, pretty simple job.
Try that 1st...you'll want to inspect all of the linkage, the bushings wear out and the 2 cone-set screws back out if not installed correctly by the previous owner...
Check the bushings and cone screws first before you start adjusting the linkage.
