Terry, first thing I'd check would be, when you rotate the throttle lever on the steering column, does the bevel gear set just above the headlight switch rotate? If yes, the throttle must almost have to function. If not, is the friction clutch set too tight? If not that, perhaps the driving gear on the brass sleeve from the steering column lever is slipping? I forget just how it's fastened but as I recall, to get at it you have to remove the headlight switch assembly, and then the packing gland assembly at the base of the column.
