put the bike back together finally and the coaster brake seems too tight ...

it works well but free wheeling is not really free wheelin.. it's like the brake is on very slightly even when just stop forward peddling... it's less of an issue in first gear but gets worse in 2nd or 3rd.

when pedaling forward i can also hear like a free wheeling noise so think it must be too tight.

If it's too tight how do i adjust it? is it on the hub (just a case of slackening off the axel nut?) or where it attaches to the frame?
