Cas help. Timing dots lining up. Read first

[niscur29]

Yup I had a cas that had dots the opposite of what is shown in the FSM....

Instead of:
..x
x

He Has:
x
..x

I think you still line up the right most dot first and the left should spin over when you push it in...Feel free to correct me on that one...

thanks for the input. appreciate the time you put it to reply

yo got confused with the dots. like this guy on the bottom said so.
