Cannot recall if there was a spacer involved in the re-install. Will have to check the Clymer again and possibly remove pulley to double check.

That makes checking the axle position that much more necessary.

There really isn't a spacer. The posts and comment here had me worried that I missed a little washer or something. I took mine apart and didn't see one. I then looked at the microfiche at ronayers.com and didn't see one listed there either. Yes, there is a spacer, but its about an inch wide and that is definately installed on mine.
Looks like I had it (drive pulley) mounted correctly after all. RYCA took a look at my photos and commented that the belt is too loose, so I will tighten that up and see how it looks. Hopefully the bolt mentioned earlier will clear if I tighten up the belt.
