make sure that the little pegs that come with your starter box are in the right spots. when i got my first starter box, i thought that the car was supposed to sit on the little pegs. but i was wrong. the pegs are suposed to hold the car in place and the car chassis is supposed to be flat against the starter box with the pegs on the sides so it doesn't move when the starter box wheel is hitting the flywheel.

Take off the electric start and the two-inch thick shim stack between the motor and mount. The shim is to clear the electric start, but it raises the flywheel up too high.
