Won’t start unless primed

here are 2 types of solenoids.
One has 2 wires and the black wire will go to a small bolt on the engine some where
These do break off or fall off
The other kind have 1 wire and ground through the carburettor body
If the carb is mounted to a plastic manifold there will be no ground so they have a small jumper to ground the carb body
The wire usually gets lost when the carb is removed .

My new carb with a new solenoid came in the mail last night..
My girl grounded me to the house last night.. lol
So I couldn’t really work on it but she don’t smoke, so she kicks me to the garage when I smoke..
With limited time I just plugged the new solenoid and turned on the key to test it and it does click every time..
Cowboy..
