Failsafe rod comes out

I had my new XL650 set up and working properly. I removed the powder hopper to empty it and reinstalled. Now on the down stroke the system binds up. It looks like where the failsafe rod attaches to the dump, the rod is coming out. What could cause this? I believe I reinstalled according to the original set up instructions.

1) Is the bend in the failsafe rod, 3 inches down from the top, point with its knee to you or away from you? It should be pointing to you.
2) Are you sure you have put the failsafe rod through both the powder pivot parts?

See figure 155, page 33 for a good picture of how the rod should look installed.

Are you sure the powder measure is all the way down on the powder die?
