how do you want to set in the final place if you do not have the cable hooked into the arm?
The spring`s what is supposed to stop on the L shaped bracket you are past that point.
.Remove the little finder with the spring(which is not correctly attached on the pic) then connect the clutch cable and pull back to its position with a bar
or big screwdriver.Only after you install the little finger and spring,adjust your clutch cable..
