How far do you have to turn the crank to engage the hub?
It isn't difficult to adjust the amount of play in a coaster hub. And you don't have to take the whole thing apart. Play between drive and braking is adjusted by the tightness of the cone nut. It can take some trial and error to fine tune exactly the right amount of play, and is much easier with the right size cone wrench. Almost any coaster hub can be adjusted to have less than 1/4 rotation of play in the cranks.
