Mel -
It is very easy when installing the drive dog to get it 180 degrees
backwards and it will still look like it is in the "twenty - two"
position. sounds like you need to take the drive dog out, flip it
around, and reinstall it. It should work then. I've made this
mistake before when I rebuilt my motor.
Good Luck!
