I've just done this adjustment, but you'll need quite a deep angled 12mm ring spanner and a cross head screwdriver to do it.
Take the round rubber bung out of the front sprocket cover and you'll see a nut.
Undo the nut so that it's just slightly undone.
At the top end screw the clutch cable outer casing in so that there's about 3 or 4mm gap then tighten up the big wheel to secure it.
Then back down to the nut, in the middle of it is a screw with a cross head on it, you need to screw it in gently until you feel it stop, then unscrew it a quarter of a turn, then whilst holding the screw in position tighten up the nut with the ring spanner.
The bottom end is now adjusted correctly.
If it is not quite right you can then adjust any play from the top end.
If it still doesn't seem too happy you may have a knackered cable.
