Thank you for that info.I believe the safety switch on those ground the magneto. If you have spark with the safety clip installed and no spark with the clip removed then it is working properly.
So the safety switch is working then, now just have to figure out why it won’t start. I put 6 drops of gas in as advised but it doesn’t want to start, not even a fire at all.I believe the safety switch on those ground the magneto.

Would starter fluid be ok just to see if it fires?So the safety switch is working then, now just have to figure out why it won’t start. I put 6 drops of gas in as advised but it doesn’t want to start, not even a fire at all.
No I haven’t had time to check flywheel key and assume it’s important because nothing would turn when I pull. I pull the cord and have compression, spark and a sore arm but maybe I’m missing something.Starter fluid is just fine.----See posts #7 & 8.----Checked flywheel key ?---Or no idea why that is important ?
I also wanted to say, I’m asking about starter fluid cause when I put drops of gas in nothing happened. Maybe have a plugged carb? Don’t understand why it didn’t fire with drops of gas and spark.Starter fluid is just fine.----See posts #7 & 8.----Checked flywheel key ?---Or no idea why that is important ?
I will keep that in mind thanks but, if the key was missing, would I have compression and spark when I pull the rope?????----If the flywheel key is missing or sheared the timing will be way off.-----Up to you to do some simple checks.-----Remember no one can see , touch or hear your motor.
