Looks like youre going to have to take it all apart again, sounds like a short somewhere. That would be the first place I check.

Thats why its good to take pictures while its idling where all the needles should be and then take picture when it's off. This way you will be in the ball park when you put new face on and start it up.

dann you need to clean up the way you say stuff its driving me crazy you keep skipping words and crap. take the nedles back off and move them counter clock wise just a little and see where you stand

Did you turn the key on before you took them off to see where they sat?
