Fact your motor has an older starter on it.----I do not believe the 67 electric shift left the factory with a painted white recoil !!-----The factory solenoid had 2 small terminals.-----One got 12 volts from ignition switch.-----Other one ended up at the safety switch and grounded there if...

I think it is the classic " lean sneeze "-----On these 2 stroke engines.----A much mis-understood / mis diagnosed occurrance on them.

If the oil injection , mixer , oil tank is on this motor get rid of it and throw it away.-----Install a new impeller.----Mix at 50:1 in the gas tank.

I would say it is a carburetion issue.-----Open low speed mixture 1/4 turn and test run.----And most important make sure throttle plate is synchronized and opening at the correct time.----Many years of this ignition system show the same driver coil for manual and electric start.

Some will argue.----I have never found a 40 year old aluminum head that was flat.----Easy to correct so that head gasket will be properly compressed on install.

The head is warped ( they all are )-----Needs to be refinished to true it up.----Emery cloth on a piece of glass is one way.

Step # 1 is to inspect / replace water pump impeller.

Post #3 suggests that the loose wire comes from the FACTORY solenoid and ends up at the safety switch.-----But you are working on your first motor.-----I was working on motors like yours in 1968 !!----I think I will step aside on this project.-----Good luck with it.

I believe someone put that on there later.----Puzzling to me as to why that was done !!----Bad starter ?-----Bad battery ?----Bad generator ?

It has to be in forward gear to get full throttle.

What solenoid did you install ?----Part # of it ?----Why would you not install the factory solenoid?----Is it because the mounting spot is damaged ?

I do not believe the 67 models had the recoil starters on the electric shift motors.

----The spark jump of 7/16" is for electronic ignition model of 1977 and newer.----What is your motor doing / not doing ?----What trouble shooting has been done ?

I cannot see all the details on your motor.----But I think that one wire goes from a small terminal on the solenoid to the safety switch under the magneto plate.----And that safety switch only has ONE wire going to it.----Have you pulled flywheel to inspect ignition coils ?

No wires ( picture #3 ) attach to that drain plug on the carburetor bowl.-----And where is your starter solenoid ?----It appears to be missing !-----Starter appears to be one from an older motor as well.-----The generator / voltage regulator must work on this motor or damage the clutch springs...

Where did you find those ?

There is no bolt to remove near the starter !!-----There is no shift rod / linkage on a 1972 model !-----The shifting is electric.----Therefor you must find the wires.

Find the green and blue wires that go down beside the engine block.-----Slide the rubber covers back.----Undo the knife connectors.------Attach something to pull the wires back up.-----You do have all the bolts out ?-----There is one hidden under the trim tab.

Have you tested the driver coil ?

The water tube is supposed to stay in the exhaust housing.----It usually does.-----If it comes out stuck in the pump you MUST first install it in the exhaust housing !!
