Default clutch engagement/adjustment after new chain & sprockets.

Just replaced my chain and spockets, put everything back together and for some reason the clutch wont engage now. Clutch push rod is still good, I know the solution is simple but I cant come to think of it!

Any ideas?
Thanks in advance.

Removing the lifter has somehow disturbed its adjustment or, if it was disassembled, it's not been put back right.

Firts make sure it's gone back together right - if it did come apart, then adjust the clutch like this:
