My guess would be that you got a wire or two in the wrong place.

Be sure all wires are in the right place.
While you're at it, check the timing: http://dauntlessgeezer.com/DG97.html

Did you remove the roller? Some CAM shafts are drilled all the way through allowing the roller to be installed 180 degrees off (i.e. Backwards)
