| If I ground it away very carefully at the pivot point it would come in earlier and with more force, good idea or bad idea

Bad idea for two reasons:
a) it will weaken the clutch and it'll be prone to failure. You'd be better off replacing the lining so there is almost zero gap.
b) I think you'll still have the same problem due to insufficient centrifugal (or is it centripetal) force as the surface area is the limiting factor.
Two options for resolving this:
- change the gear ratio so the motor/clutch assembly is moving faster.
- modify the clutch so that it operates less like a clutch and gives a more direct drive eg replace the liner and pack it out so the clutch is a stiff push fit into the bell. If it still slips like this you'll have to think how you can make a solid connection up from the engine - perhaps weld a couple of locating pins on the top of the clutch that would engage into holes drilled into the top of the clutch bell?
