I should have mentioned I am reinstalling a new/used motor after TBF.
Do I just loosen the rear pinch bolt and move it back?
Any suggestions on how to do this?
I have the plug out of the rear pinch bolt location and have loosened it a little, but may need to do more. Also sprayed pb blast liberally in the tt hole.

I can tell you exactly what is happening here Ryan.
Your rear clamp bolt is installed in the shaft neck-down area, instead of in the shaft cutout where it belongs.
Edit: Betrand beat me to it...

Something looks somewhat out of whack there- has the drive shaft been displaced rearwards by any chance?
The rear pinch bolt is not adjustable as the bolt engages a detente in the shaft. Sounds as though you need to inspect the rear bolt and more to the point fit a new one but before that you need to ensure the detente aligns with the bolt hole and that the assembly has not been chewed up as it were.

Mark, you just used the right words to what I was trying to show with the pic!
Thanks.
