yes tried installing 1 then 2 shims behind the collet.
same thing seems the outer part of the crank is rubbing the outer race of the bearing.
i tried installing the o.s xzb crank to check this and tightened up clutch nut real tight and it was loose and spins free.
looking for a fix on this engine. ( i dont recall checking this when original bearing installed so i am unsure)
