bobert might be onto something.

When the cover is on....and you gently push the lever up there will be some movement.  The clutch lever should stop somewhere between the two marks cast into the engine block.  At that point you will need to put a wrench on the lever to allow you to move the clutch lever against the force of the springs.  When you gently push the lever up....it should be between these 2 marks.

Adjusting the cable is not a problem.  Install the cable, and move the adjuster at the handlebars a few turns form being all the way in.....to allow yourself some room for adjustment at the handlebars.  Then move the adjustment nuts on the bottom of the cable to provide just a small amount of movement at the lever.....a little slack in the cable so that all of the spring pressure of the clutch is working on the clutch plates...and not the cable.  You want to be able to see just a small amount of movement at the clutch lever before you feel the pull on the clutch springs engage.

Also remember.....both adjusting nuts on the bottom of the cable are on top of the bracket.  Do not put one on top and one on the bottom - some have made that mistake and broken the engine case.....that is a really bad thing.

Don't pay any attention to the red arrow in this photo....it was the only photo of the clutch cable I could find.

Thanks for that. The guy that ran the cable had the two nuts separated just like you said so I'll go fix that. Thanks again.

Im VERY pleased that someone came up with the answer,,, I apologize for adding confusion,,
