John,

Try re bleeding the clutch system. It can be a chore to bleed completely. This past winter I fixed an issue very similar to what you described, by bleeding. The clutch would only disengage about a millimetre :) back from full pedal. This was on an 85 Doka.

Kinda hard to fix without finding a good used bell housing or one of my rebuilt bell housings:  <http://www.frankcondelli.com/staging1/store/index.php?route=product/product&path=61_112_120&product_id=1005>
