3rd piston ring please help

@calum the clutch was in a bad state but since I got a new lever and adjuster it will pop the front wheel up but it's losing the power after initially using the clutch it feels good but after then it's losing power I don't believe it to be the clutch but I really thought it was till I got a new lever the other day before that I could redline drop the clutch and barely move

@declan Wouldn't be a bad place to start.
An idea would be to see if it pulls fine with no load on the engine.
So first just put the bike on a paddock, start it and go through all the gears. If that works no problems then jump on bike and od the same but keep it part throttle only. No load.
Always Originate, Never Pirate!

@declan With load on the engine does it revs hard and no power. Clutch is slipping then.
Either adjust it or replace it.

@calum no it lacks power off the line when moving its decent shift into 3rd the revs die down to a slow idle and you go about 3mph
-
@declan Nah doesn't sound like clutch then.
Sounds like it's a carb setting.
Take the plug out and have a look.
Could simply just not getting enough fuel.
@calum that's what I'm thinking as after I try hit 3rd and stop it feels starved not revving clean and real slow idle but sorts it's self out after a rest I've been doing some tests as it's got an open filter not the box as I have no rubber or filter for the air box but I haven noticed anything by restricting air flow

Sounds rich to me. Lean would cause a high hanging idle. The bike should still rev out, just without much power.
When rich, everything is sluggish, and going WOT can feel like youre hitting a rev limiter, or as if the bike has a restriction.
Have you done all the basics? Fresh plug and clean airfilter? Is your floathight correct?

@jens-eskildsen that's a no on the float I've never really done that unless I really need to and if it's rich what do you reccomend a:f screw for move the float pin? Plug is good and filter is good no air leaks

You could remove the side of the airbox and do a testrun and see if its better or worse.
Dont think you can adjust the airscrew enough to sort this out. -
