I'm thinking if I had the head in front of me I could figure it out. It's a pretty simple process of double checking everything, including stuff you should have looked for the first time around but maybe didn't like coil bind.

Yah, I know it sucks to be you right now but you'll never learn unless you run across and solve problems like this. Just plug away at it, you'll get there.
