Look at PN 43736-51.
That is the front wheel bearing spacer. Did you put one in ??? If not , you must do so. If that isn't the problem, e-mail and I will try to help.
An attention getting (stupid option), tighten up, real tight so the wheel will not turn and strap a skateboard to the front wheel. This will save tire wear also. Problem solved.

Hello, This could be a real novice problem but have been struggling to get my
front wheel set up correctly now that all the parts are in place. As I tighten down
the right, nut/washer side it wants to pull the fork leg/ brake assembly tight to
the drum/hub. I have tried tightening the left side first, right side first and it still
wants to tighten and bind-up. Please help me with the obvious, because the
obvious is escaping me. Thanks folks,

Peter/ Seattle.
