Referring to your second picture. The clutch lever is clamped to the worm shaft (2) by the nut (1). The way to adjust it is to undo nut (1) so the clutch arm is free and use a large screwdriver in the slot of the worm shaft (2) to turn it and get some play in the clutch pushrod. Then clamp the arm at about 45 degrees down from the horizontal. You should then have a working clutch.

When I had this problem, John, it was the clutch retaining nut working loose and simply adjusting the clutch arm is merely "chasing" the clutch. Try checking that the nut is really tight. George
