Got the carb put back together and reinstalled tonight. I think it's ok. Its only the second one I've ever done but I had the pig check it out and he thought it was fine.

That pig is bigger than the motor!

The carbs are fairly straight forward. Should be good if float setting was done, needle seating, etc...

I use a timing fixture to set the points, then I lock it down with the flywheel nut. Taking the plugs out makes it easier to rotate the crank smoothly. And safer!

The hog (his name is maverick) probbaly weighs more.... So it's normal for the cam to come out? I'm asking because when I did all this on a smaller motor I didn't notice it.

Just an update.... I haven't given up on this. I have been waiting to receive what I think is the right flywheel nut from a online seller and they are screwing me around. They didn't send it for a month and wont reply to any type of contact. I think after I get this resolved I'll be ready to go.
