Is your brass plunger functional?

Have you properly adjusted out the travel at the cable end before the plunger engages the plate ? Should be about 2-3mm at the handle bar lever.

Good luck with that.
I hate the 7 spring type. If you can exchange it for a Cosa clutch. Fits the same but works better and longer.
