I mean im just not totally sure what your talking about. It is the little arrow on the shaft am i correct?
K, lets try it this way.
when you turn in the bolt / The center smaller one on the clutch, it lengthens the rod. Pushing the clutch actuator (lever) on the left side case back. the more you turn in the smallr threaded bolt on the clutch side (righ side).
It will made the lever on the let side, push back, towards that arrow !
If you turn it as fasr as you can and still your clutch does not ingage, you need new fibers likely.
But my understanding, is you are getting it to engage now, correct ?
Naturally if you turn it to far, you can not get the bigger nut back on it. Thats what I mean, then you would need new clutch fibers.
Think of it like this also, turning that smaller threaded screw in, make more pressure on the rod / clutch.
If the clutch is to tight, then you do the opposite. back off the threaded screw.
Your clutch lever ( left hand handle bar). should egage the clutch, about 1/4 to 1/2 way in, as you pull the lever in, towards the handle bars.
What was yours like before ? were you having to pull it all the way in ? and when you took off in 1st gear, when did it dis engage as you released it ?
See where I am going ? trying to explain ?
Put it in gear, pull in the clutch, dont have to start it. to check this.
try rolling forward with the clutch lever pulled in ! does it roll freely ?
and if you , while rolling it forward, as you release the clutch lever, when does it start to drag or not roll ? where is the clutch lever at,when you do this ?
