Homelite Backpacker UTO8111A - putting the engine back into place?

I just replaced the throttle cable and ignition leads. To replace the white ignition lead i had to remove the engine and replace the wire. I then reassembled everything, but the rope pull won't pull. I took it apart again and without the engine in place the rope pull is fine, recoils and all. I assume it has something to do with placing the engine back in and how the starter rotor and pawls are aligned. Is there a trick to doing this? HELP!
