I have a 1966 Sears Allstate Blue badge, scooter ran great then stator wires frayed. So I sent stator off for repair. I did not mark anything before taking it apart.After putting back together the hole in the flywheel to adjust points is off by 3 inches. Flywheel is keyed and I tried to adjust stator plate but 3 inches off. Any thoughts ? The yellow is where hole is the open is where it needs to be. I tried to move stator plate in different positions but this seems to be the only way it fits
