Clutch Lever Free Play Question

[Rich_M]

This is probably elementary but I recently adjusted my clutch. I did the following:

1. Torqued the clutch hub shoulder bolts to 30 in-lb​
2. Adjusted the adjustment screw till gently seated and backed it off 1/2 turn.​
3. Locked it down with the lock nut while holding the adjustment screw in place with an allen key.​

I did all this with the clutch lever slacked out. Now when I adjust it, I can see the lever tightening up, but it won’t go tight enough to actually engage the clutch. I must have missed something, but I don’t know where I went wrong. I have braided steel cables. Any ideas?

Try 1/4 turn...or less. You'll find the sweet spot.

1/4 of a turn and no more than that
