If you don't have the reverse module as indicated above (if you do check to make sure it's not in neutral position), probably your slipper clutch is slipping too much.
Tighten the nut on the spur gear.
Check to make sure the rear metal part of spur assembly is spinning with the spur (plastic) part.
Probably by now your slipper clutch is toast.

sounds like your slipper is too loose or it could be a stripped gear in the tranny....and sluggish off the line could be too lean or too rich on the lsn.....if there is alot of smoke comming from the exhaust then its probably too rich, if not then its probably to lean....another test is to pinch the fuel line and the engine should slightly rev up and then die after 3-4 seconds .....don't touch the midrange because it has very little to do with take off.
