Default Clutch problems

I need some advice. I just put an Ultima 6 speed in my 2002 Santee custom softail, and now my clutch won't work. I have not made any adjustments to the clutch hub yet. When I pull the lever, I can hear a click from under the derby cover, and the lever does not return. I have to reset it from the side cover where the cable goes in. Any suggestions?

Have attached/routed the clutch cable different from what it originally was? Slack your clutch cable all the way, and adjust it properly. There are plenty of easy YouTube vids on this. Good Luck.
