Congratulations, the drive gear is 180 out.
I do it every single time!
Remove the dizzy clamp, unscrew the collar, insert a long 5/16 x 24 bolt
into the drive gear, twist and pull it out.
If you can make a mark with a sharpie or something on the gear, so you
can tell when you have it 180 around.
Yeah, yeah, the book says keep the smaller slot up or what ever but
those 2 slots are .0000001 different and can not be seen with the naked
eye or even a magnifying glass.
Put a mark on the top, screw in a bolt, pop it out, put the mark on the
bottom.
