But it would not idle like it should nore run like he is stating it runs.

Recognizing the fact that we are all just groping fish in the dark until ROB FIXES THE PROBLEM, it very well may "idle" depending on which wires are mixed up (only 2, maybe?) and how far off the dizzy is. Combine that with the relatively large rotating mass and it could smooth out some of the problems at idle. Add a load (rev it) and it's off to the races.
