Cable moves freely, cable is tight as hell, i have another person pulling the pedal up, cable never got pinched, and only has about 500 miles on it.
Yes it is going perfectly around the pulley.
how does one account for the 1 1/4 from the engine plate? thats what i am short, my cable has the nut at the very end, and was always a pain to get on, from what i remeber....
So, the nut was at the end when you had the stock motor and the clutch was correctly adjusted? A stock clutch cable has enough play to allow for the 1 1/4 setback. If your's wasn't hardly long enough to start with....
I wonder if you don't have a stock cable or then end is broken off? Those cables have a very long threaded end...pehaps yours has the tip broken off.
Compare the end of your clutch cable to a pic of a new one.
