Hi,
    Handlebar lever fulcrum pivot screw and or pivot hole worn, lever bent?

Best wishes...

Lever is fine and I have fitted new screws in both levers. ? The clutch is new, never been run and never seen oil yet as the chain case is still off. Thanks.

That's all my ideas exhausted, if your in the southwest with it pop in... :)

Some good news, the pin 57-4038 is now being remade, so it could be fitted to the Triumph mechanism with slight fettling. only £12.60  ;D

Mine are also, the combined Lucas switch versions. 
However, Bess has a point as I suspect the lever can travel too far depending on where it's positioned on the handlebar and the type of handlebar grip you are using. If the lever is positioned so the ball end sticks outboard or the bar end at full pull or in my case aswell the h/bar grip is one of the thin cheapo ones which both contribute to a larger travel on the cable.

Looks like we may have found the root cause at last!! Hoorah!!

Sorry bit of a typo Should read...... sticks outboard of the bar end at full pull....
