i am having problem with clutch i have engine rebuilt when i pull clutch lever on engine when in gear it will not disengage unable to work out engine is on bench

If your trying to depress the clutch by using the lever on top of the engine,you cant do it by hand.You need to use an open ended spanner on the lever,or connect it up using the cable and handlebar lever.

could the plates be stuck together
