Yeah, the lock-nut was on...just kicked loose on the backfire....

Im getting a spinner today so ill be able to use the elec. starter....

And i have it set to what they say (leave low-speed alone, high speed 2 1/2 turns out...)

thanks guys....

As a side note....after i tried last night....now there is a little clicking in the valves, i can tell if its the exhause or intake....it wasnt there when i first turned it over straight out of the box....is it normal for it to pick up a little noise...(not loud, and the valves work fine)
