The first one inch of travel of the clutch pedal away from the platform (transmission top that the seat bolts to) is the freeplay. The pedal can be pushed down to that extent easily with just light pressure. at that point it should get much harder to push abd feel much springier. then the remaining travel to the far stop (fully depressed position should take that same amount of force, or a little more as it goes down.
If this is how it is adjusted and feels, I believe thar City Boy is correct ant the plate is rusted/stuck to the flywheel. Driving it around in second or third gear, and holding the clutch down all the time while applying the brakes enough to almost kill the engine (for about 5 seconds per application, then off for 15 seconds or so to cool the brakes) will also help. The idea is to load the clutch until it breaks free from being stuck.

If the adjustment is not like that, change the rod length at the external linkage to make it like that, and try it again. good luck, and keep us informed, JimN
