This was my thinking at the time. Put the dist back in. That looks right. Won't start. Hmmm.
Okay, have someone crank it and I'll turn it til it starts. Turning this way, turning that way nothing.
Turning more. Turning more. Keep cranking it almost started.
This way...no, that's the wrong way, lets give it one big crank this way.
Crank it...keep cranking....

BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOM


Holy *****. I just died.

There's black dust all over my pant legs. I'm standing there looking around.
I check my arms to make sure all my limbs are there.

Look down, and there's the 914 stock muffler, which had definitely seen it's better days, and yup, it's in half.

Then I put the dist back in correctly. I'm sure it was off 180 degrees.
Oh well, that would never happen again. Drove around with the Harley sounding 914...I mean LOUD, got a new muffler. Wish I had saved the old one.
