I got a new clutch lever and its hard to pull in, It pulls in now but it wont engage. I adjusted it down by the motor so it will retract but it wont engage.

the only thing new is the lever? same perch, same cable, same clutch? are there multiple holes in the lever for the cable end? and is there any play in the lever at all?

Nope, its a new perch and lever. I had a msr perch and lever but I got a shorty lever and perch. Should it still work? The cable is pulling in down by the motor. But it stalls whenI put it in first.

what is your freeplay like at the lever? should be able to fit a dime between the lever and perch.

Sounds like you might have a twisted or binding cable?

How would I know if its twisted/binding? Do I pull the cable down through and straighten it? anything else it could be?

do you have free play in your lever? it sounds to me like your cable is too short with the new perch and lever, and your unable to fully engage the clutch.

to check if your cable is twisted or binding i would disconnect the cable from the clutch arm, and see if you can pull it then. if you cant then its the cable. follow it up to the perch and check for any kinks or twists.
