I know you don't want to hear this but if you can't get the stock cover to go on it's operator error. Is the rubber o-ring in place and are you spinning the cover in the right direction? It shouldn't be ths diffcult.

I completely agree that it is most likely operator error. That's why I asked because I was hoping someone might know something I dont. Everything is there and I've spun the cover both directions with no luck. I've done this before with no trouble at all so I'm at a loss right now.

The cable screws in at an odd angle, slightly inward towards the motor and down which causes it to be difficult starting. .............. don't ask me how I know.
