I now am pretty sure that tightening down the sprocket to the rag is causing the wheel to not spin , . . as if the brake is on.
In post 23, I asked if anyone had experience with the Shimano,
Is anyone familiar with a Shimano 26 x 2.125
Hub Shim CB 12G 36H ?, It is essentially a nice looking wheel, but I have never seen a coaster brake assembly like this the brake arm rest on a, "segmented star arrangement", of sort, has anyone dealt with this, before I have to go take a picture ?

Anyway the wheel will not spin now that I have tighten down the engine wheel sprocket, what changed ?

Picture?

Are the bolt heads interfering with the brake arm?

No, It has gone from moving the brake arm freely to very hard moving it, This I believe is being caused by the tightening of the engine rear wheel sprocket ? I can't find anything on this, (Shimano 26 x 2.125
Hub Shim CB 12G 36H), the part the brake arm holds onto looks like the clutch center adjustment nut, (star shaped) Have you seen this before ?

All that I can tell you at this time is that D--mn Hub must be super sensitive ! I loosened all the bolts on the sprocket and tightened them
slightly until the, (altered by adjustment), brake arm, cleared, . .
this left the bolts not very tight, but close to snug, and it the wheel spins OK.

I'll true it out a little and tire it up for a try, . . don't know what else can go wrong, . . but that was a little frustrating, .

Ok, to close out this thread;
Runs, we'll find out how well ?!
