I have a Craftsman chipper with a Briggs 1450 engine. Ran great last time I put it away 4 months ago. Went to start it yesterday and dead. First thing of note, when I went to pull the crank start, it locked up due to a remaining chunk of wood in the grinder. I do not think anything I did clearing it or attempting to start damaged anything. I pulled and pulled, did not even try to fire. Brought it t the garage, no spark.
I checked the kill switch function and it seems grounded no matter if the switch is open or closed. Confusing. There is one wire to the switch and one connected to nothing (just hanging there with a butt connector). I'm confused on how this kill switch is supposed to work and where there other wire would connect.
Any help would be appreciated on next steps.
