does this clutch have a triangle shape with three bolts and nuts at each corner with a spring on them. If so there is a slot next to each screw, put a .012-016 feeler gauge in that slot so it fits between the two plates and then adjust the nuts to set the clearance, and see if that helps out.

Pull the plug on the clutch wires and poke your meter probes in there .
When you turn the PTP on and off, check you are getting 10V or better every time.
If not the switch or the wires to or from it are broken

Do what Bert said. Also, take 2 small jumper wires and hook them to your battery then to your clutch. if the clutch activates, then that part is working. go through your adjustments. the problem is switch or wire. if there is a seat switch, that could be the problem as well. if the seat switch is not engaged, the clutch will not engage.
