Look closely at the terminals on that shift switch. One is marked "F" for forward, the other is marked "R" for reverse.

Green wire from the wiring harness connects to the "F" terminal.

Blue wire from the wiring harness connects to the "R" terminal.

Voltage wire connects from the "A" terminal of the ignition switch to the remaining terminal of that shift switch.

If you have compression and spark on all four cylinders, suspect a fouled carburetor.
