I'm having a lot of trouble getting the bump start lined up. The flywheel comes down just a few mm short of being flush with the chassis. It seems that no matter what I do, I can't get the wheel on the bump box to line up with the flywheel. I loosened all the pegs on the box and got it pretty close and the wheel only came up to flush with the chassis and did not touch the flywheel.

What's the deal? Am I using too small of a flywheel? Or is there a compatibility issue with the box I'm using? (OFNA box). Any help at all would be greatly appreciated.
i have found the best method for me is to remove my engine. then i can line up the wheel to the slot in the chassis ensuring i am dead center. takes a little longer the 1st time,but it also allows me to make sure that my wheel is protuding far enough into the chassis for good contact on the flywheel.
