I had the same problem not cranking...ended up replacing the plug...hooked the plug to the wire and got the blue spark...still no crank...so I took the carb apart several times...thinking all was good...floats moved...but after taking the thing apart for the 5 time or so and playing with the float...it came unstuck...did not realize it was stuck because it would move...but it moves alot...so I was not getting gas...put it back together and worked fine.

Reply #20 - 02/14/13 at 14:27:42 I'm thinking that wire might actually be the neutral safety switch...i can't remember...but I also think there was a ground wire down around there somewhere to...maybe to the solenoid??? i told you I suck at electrics...

well when i pulled my bowl out i made sure the float moved freely and made sure the needle was free moving, but i do have something weird happening, when i super choke my carb with my hand i have gas shooting out the back of the carb........

If it's coming out of a hole, then it's the neutral safety.

if it's on a bolt then it's the ground wire.

This is not to insult you, many of us have done this.

Thats right. If it was hooked up wrong the starter wouldn't spin the engine.

The wire circled in EJID's picture comes from the negative battery teminal.
