Thanks @txlabman!

I even fixed that annoying clacking sound.  I used a washer between the pulley and mount, which allowed me to get things a little tighter yet not lose free rotation movement of the shaft.  Not 100% why that helped as I would have thought a washer perhaps between the turbine and mount would be the fix.  But I guess getting that side to side slop is what was needed.

My old one is all boxed up and off to its new owner!
