Hey,

I had the same problem on my shakedown test two days ago. In my case the clutch wasn't engaging because I neglected to cut the centrifugal shoe to 3 pieces before assembling them. At first I thought it was my clutch spring preload but the clutch wasn't engaging with the nut loosened almost all the way up so I decided to take it apart and found the mistake, lol.

The manual assumes that the builder knows about it and doesn't illustrate the process specifically. Hence me missing the step. Worth checking if nothing else solves the problem.
