Default clutch problem

Well i dont know if any one knows about the 1973 right hand shift, but I dont know much, My clutch wont engage I have the right amount of gear oil and every thing but the thing wont engage. I have tried pulling the lever super hard but nothing i can feel the wire stretchn and not a a single movement from the clutch. so is it time to go into the clutch housing or is there something im missing

CZL....
Did you get the clutch info I sent with the email? If you are pulling in the clutch lever and have nothing moving but feel the cable stretching, then I am even more certain that you need to do the adjustment of the cam release.
Let us know.......pg
