The Suzuki cable showed up today. I compared the two and the new one is maybe 1/4" longer between the end that is threaded and the rubber flange [with all slack pulled to that end]. Everything else is identical. Biggest difference is now I can adjust the clutch (plus stop & bent bracket) to work. The pedal is a bit more than a 1/4" above the brake pedal with 3/4" free play and there is, at most, 1/4" of thread showing at the clutch lever nut. But it works! Oddly, it settled in as I had a helper operate the clutch and kept adjusting the nut. Good advise to replace cable to a known good one.
Next worry is a small chirping produced when the clutch is disengaged and motor running. Too quiet to record on the phone and maybe only noticeable because it is on a lift in the shop. Will need to watch it for a while.
