Attached is a link to my 126 running. I’m not sure what the issue is except it won’t move very much unless I have the clutch pressed just so.

I see you have a greedbay aftermarket clutch disk and what the heck is this thing????

I apologize, but what are you referring to? I have no idea about the clutch that is in the machine except that it’s obviously not original
There's so much wrong there man. SIGH!!!
It looks to me like the teaser spring is either broken or mashed flat, no anti-rattle springs, clutch assembly is way off in it's location, Red Pulling main spring and on and on.
Check the link I posted and you'll see what I mean.

Digger i am soooo disappointed in you! clearly red paint increases the performance in a spring! haha. I also see the historical remnants of one rattle spring on one of the pins! - I thought you (or maybe some other sponsor) offered a clutch rebuild service or exchange system. you are right though, there is more wrong with this clutch than right. best method would be to start fresh- if the shaft was drilled out to put that bolt in that may be scrap.
I dont think the shaft should have any fore and aft movement but it looks to be moving about an inch in and out of the motor based on how clean that shaft is at the flywheel - digger can get you what you need to make this work the right way for another 50+ years
