So my project continues...I have finally got it running, sort of (thanks PAMCOPete!)
Clutch has been adjusted exactly as per manual and checked via the other similar versions of adjustment on this site (slack cable, adjust in phillips, back off 1/4, tighten cable). But here I stand: Neutral is super easy to find. First is tough to get down into. Fourth is sometimes difficult. Fifth? It's gotta be in there somewhere, but I've never found it.
This was a basket case, but supposedly the bottom end was rebuilt. I know tat since it wasn't my rebuild it could be anything: that the shift forks might be bent, but is there anything else that I could have messed up in the installation of the clutch or the covers? The pushrod is the single. I have the two ball bearings (one in the cover, one in the series)....
Any suggestions? I'm sure it's probably something I'm simply overlooking.
