Well it seems as though I have been on the right track in my attempt to get this project rolling. I'm thinking that I first need to find a stronger tension spring although the one on it is pretty tight on the clutch lever. The other contributor to the slippage I believe is the new tire I put on it (the old one was worn right through!). The center of the new tire has a raised tread so the friction wheel on the motor probably only contacts about an 1/8". I thought about shaving off the tire to give it more surface area. I just haven't gotten around to messing with it much lately and it isn't real high on the priority list. I'm actually thinking about parting with it but just can't bring myself to do it..it is just a unique piece. Thanks for the replies and input.
