Not 100% certain but iirc there are two spacers in the rear hub, the long distance piece with the prongs plus the narrower one that fits into the left bearing. I assume you may have forgotten the smaller one.

I will make no judgement here as I rode my 400 for a 100 miles before I discovered why it was down on power, popping & banging due to two wrongly connected plug leads.
DomP:
I've now corrected my mistake, I'm thinking I need to replace the refitted bearing though. When I assemble the hub on the axle (no spokes or rim yet) and rotate it it stops suddenly rather that running freely, I think either a knackered bearing from the pounding to remove it or I've pinched the inner races with the spacers up tight. Quite a tricky set up this isn't it considering the tolerance in drifting in the bearings, one tap too many and the inner races are under too much tension.
