freeplay in secondary

[birdmayon]

Just did a track swap today and noticed as we were buttoning things up that there is significant free play when i rotate the secondary. Measuring from the outside edge of the sheave there is 2.5" of free play when i change the direction of rotation. Seems excessive? I checked and rechecked the tensioner and it is adjusted properly (finger tight then back off a quarter turn). I cant say whether the free play is any worse than it was before cause I never really payed attention. Is this normal?

Thanks for putting me at.ease. noticed the clunk when fully letting off the throttle to back on again while riding this week, I do believe this is how it acted last season before I changed things up.
