When was the last time that you serviced the clutch?

It is likely that the weight arms are worn and binding which will cause bogging/poor engagement/back shift.

That will have the Artco Hex shaft clutch in it. You can get parts to rebuild it, but you would be better off just replacing it with a newer style (comet) clutch.
