What primary clutch is on it, does it have a rounded gold cover or it is square looking aluminum? The primary does the engagement, likely is where the issue is. New belt will be sticky for a while but breaks in fast with some dust.

Those are known for jerky takeoffs, and add 30 years of wear to that. Best you can do is try to fix it up, clean and lube it, not sure you can find parts for them. Otherwise replace the clutch.
