Hi, George.
I had a similar problem with my 1966 650SS and included some details of what I did to sort in an article to Roadholder. Search on this site for Roadholder 348, December 2016 and go to page 16. Half way down the second column on that page (part of my article entitled "650SS Ownership Continues To Have Its Ups & Downs") is the start of the appropriate section. In my case the block holding the adjusting cable had come a bit loose preventing correct engagement. It was a simple job to just tighten everything up. The more difficult bit is actually getting in there!
Good luck.
Thanks Lance,
I will dive in and check after I have read your article.
Regards,
George
