I was remiss in my comments. Turning the assy to 9’0 and 3’0 put my colored gauge very close to 6:00 but maybe 5:30 and I wrongly assumed this would work out for others. My memory was flawed in that Ernest was saying the fill port position was off a lot of times and I thought a gauge was required to remedy but he worked me thru it. 😳
