If you put engine in forward gear, it feels like the clutch is slipping and engine does this about 3 times. However, if you put engine in gear and open petrol all the way, the motor goes without a problem.

Answer

With the cover off move the gear shift and watch for the shift cable to move..it will be the first cable to move..
Turn the barrel adjustment clockwise on the cable a couple times to give it more forwad motion when shifting...try it again move the barrel connector a
Couple of turns at a time. The problem should go away...
