Just replaced both gear cables and clutch cable, clutch now wont engage and clutch arm on engine casing feels notchy when turned by hand with an open ended spanner.
Any ideas before I investigate further

Took the side casing off last night and the clutch thimble is still in place, there is no bronze clutch bush as its a 150 special and the No6 comes in direct contact with the clutch thimble when clutch arm is operated.
Everything internally looks ok to be honest, I will check the clutch circlip tonight and report back....
If I put the side casing back on and operate the clutch lever on the side casing by hand (therefore operating the clutch) the kick start when pressed down should not engage
Just trying to get my head round how the clutch operates...
Also if I put the scooter in first gear and operate the clutch lever on the side casing by hand (therefore operating the clutch) the scooter should roll freely
