To me it looks like the gearing is way to high,thats why it won't crank out. Smaller on the motor or bigger on the axle. just my opinion

Deagerd is right. I recommend you shoot for a gear ratio of around 14:1 (14 engine revolutions for one wheel revolution) for this to be practical. Look into making use of a jackshaft arrangement. That is the favorite answer to a problem like yours.

Deagerd is right. It looks like you have a 1:1 arrangement there. To practically get a 14:1 ratio, you are going to need a jackshaft. Without one, if you have a 10T clutch, you will need a 140T axle sprocket. This is just not going to happen. There are several combinations that you could use on your JS, but I always recomment that you use the sprockets that you already have and work around them if possible.
