adjusting clutch on 530ck

Hi all,
so I was able to somehow replace the clutch on the old 530ck I got this summer. Took me 2 days. I don't have any heavy machinery or tools so needless to say it took all I had to change it. I separated the housing just 6-8 inch, just enough to slide off the clutch and the bearing. Replaced both. Then it sat for few months and finally I tried to use it the other day.

Clutch works great. Expect. I don't have a lot of power to go anywhere. On flat surface no issues. But |I can't seem to go up even a small incline.
Engine is going strong. Not bogging down. I just seem to loose steam, slow down and stop. In reverse I seem to be able to get bit further up the incline but again, it can't go far.


Makes me think the clutch needs to be adjusted.
Anyone have any idea how/where to adjust it? Is there a bolt or a leaver maybe?

So you did not have the flywheel resurfaced or have the pressure plate rebuilt? Unless you have no free travel and the forks are holding pressure and partly releasing the clutch that is what I am guessing is your problem is, always resurface the flywheel and install a remann ppa

The first thing is to make sure the pedal has about 1.5 inches at least of free travel before it starts to push hard, if there is none the rod that goes into the bell housing needs to be lengthened at the turnbuckle at the bellcrank on the side of the housing. If there is no free travel the clutch could be partially released.
 

Thank you both. It's finally warm enough again to give it a try.
I checked for clearances and seems to be about right. Just like on that pic.
Small movement of the rod before it enters the bellhousing and pushes hard. Also about 1.5-2 inch of the pedal movement before it begins to push the rod in.
I haven't messed around with the lengthening or shortening of the rod itself yet. Spyared it with some pb blaster yesterday the nut was rusted on. I'll try maybe make it shorter or longer and see if that makes a difference.
I even opened the small window on the side of the bell housing and looked around in there. Can't see anything that you could adjust. Just the bearing and the pressure plate from behind. Everything moves nicely when you press the clutch pedal...

Aside from the adjustment of the rod, are there any other areas that I could adjust? Thanks
