Howard, Part of it at least is Page 42, starting at post #419 of this thread.

What you remember is that my set up was no help because someone had welded a washer to the back of my fork. My linkage was messed with when the 120 engine when in (1965) and again when the 356 replaced it (1974).

I had Nothing between the long adjustment nut and the fork. As in the Before photo of the pedal linkage. I had only taken off the spring and the cotter pin at the end of the rod before taking the picture.

I fashioned a 3/8 inch spacer and stuck it in there after cleaning the parts. When the clutch didn't work, I replaced it with a nylon and metal washer just to have something against the fork.
