I have adjusted the bowden cable and modulator.

That brownish color could be from burned fluid, does it smell burnt? If it "revved" in 4th gear without engaging you could have easily been roasting the fluid and 4th gear clutch pack.....never good to rev if it doesn't engage, always let off the throttle.
