I know there are a lot of posts here about bultaco clutch but I just can't seem to get it 100% 

it seems to engage as when I have it pulled there is no compression . 

When i go into first it wants to pull away abit , normal ? Once I'm in first it's hard to get back into neutral and when I have it in gear  and clutch pulled in the bike doesn't roll freely really hard to push and there's a squeek coming from the magneto side of the engine . Any suggestions ? Have to adjust the screw right up to pushrod to even get it to engage at all ...

Sounds like normal symptoms of clutch drag caused by the clutch plates touching when they should not be touching.

Usual causes are: Plates might not be flat. Plates might not be moving apart parallel.

Less common causes are: May be side float in the gearbox shaft. May be grooves worn into the clutch basket fingers. Maybe the bearing that the basket spins on has started seizing.
