3/16" !!!!
Yikes Mike!
Maybe the pulley was installed *without* the key in
the keyway?
I would not run the motor for even another second
until you find out exactly what's going on.
Get a book (or someone that knows Triumphs) and remove
the nut and pulley from the crankshaft.
If you are lucky, the 3/16" play will be somewhere in
the pulley assembly (loose nut, missing key, etc.),
and not the crank itself.
