The red wire at the ign switch plug is the 12 volt feed not the white wire. Put a test light at back side of wire harness and turn key to is if switch is sending voltage out to starter solenoid. If power is coming out of switch test at starter solenoid the same way. If good there make sure...

Simple test. Without motor running Push throttle to fast position, then with your best finger pull back the governor arm, if arm has tension on it and pushes back that good. Now put throttle at low speed and again use your best finger and push on governor arm again, there should not be any or...

Nice to read that you are up and running again.

Only purchase the tank from a 4/5 star rating seller. I've had same problem. Cheaper is just cheap. Good rating good product.

Nice to read that your running again.

ok, use a vac/fuel pressure gauge at fuel pump and test positive and negative readings. Pulse line should show 1 1/2 lbs. or more, suck side of pump should read - 1 1/2 lbs, and out side of pump to carb is 1 1/2 lbs. If all good and hoses are on right ports it will pump. If all hoses are correct...
