So it is one on the top left if you were looking straight at it? Then 2 is top right, 3 bottom left and 4 bottom right?

So it goes 1st cylinder to 1 on the dizzy
2nd to 3
3rd to 4
4th to 2?

Is that right?

It starts but something is wrong

No No.. the way i think it is...

do this..

Take all the leads off.. and lay them next to each other.. take the longest lead and jam it in the 4th cylinder to 4th dizzy..

then the longer one of the leads next.. jam that into the 3rd Cylinder.. and put it in the the dizzy socket below the first one u put in..

the other longer of the 2 leads.. stick that in the 2nd cylinder.. and stick it in the dizzy cap next to the 1st one..

the last lead.. well.. stick that into the remaining holes.. and see what happens.. (which would be the 4th one obviously)
