Hi John,
It could be a number of things including:
1. Did you replace the clutch plate and now things are different?  Perhaps 
a clutch plate thickness difference?
2. The 65 clutch cable is notorious for breaking up front at the ball 
connected to the clutch lever by the gas pedal.  See if some of the strands 
are broken and the cable has stretched just prior to breaking.
3. Sometimes the welds break at the clutch lever mechanism connecting to 
the clutch release rod and clutch cable.
