    It was like that when I got it:( I already had my drive train fought into place when I started seeing the posts here about the notching procedures. Guess that's what I get for leaving for the short time I was gone from you guys after I found this forum.

    Personally, I was more worried about the wires NOT going into the dizzy than I was about the oil filter where the carb should be.

    Either way, it won't fire up :D wish I had one of your cool smilies to put in here!!!
