with the belt off the gear, spin the gear. it should spin freely with no resistance. if you hear some metal to metal or feel resistance, your clutch mounting bolts or shoes are hitting the drum. you can shim it out slightly under each mounting screw using split lock washers between the engine and GEBE mount. you want to use split lock washers because it has a smaller section width than flat washers. The GEBE mount slips into the engine slightly under the mounting holes. most flat washers are too wide and won't seat properly with the mount protrusion. I had the same problem with clutch drag on with my Tanaka PF-4000. on my Tanaka TC-47 Type R, i have to use 2 split lock washers per screw.
