There is a knurled nut directly below the glass sediment bowl, just unscrew it. Sometimes you need a pair of pliers to get it turning. There is a cork gasket above it that will most likely need replacing, also a very fine wire mesh screen you should clean. You should see a small T handle right above the sediment bowl, that is the fuel shut off. Sometimes they are hard to turn as well.

So you put in a new plug and tried spinning it over. Did you check to see if the fuel tank was clean before adding fuel? If it is clean and once you have the bowl clean, you need to make sure you have fuel flowing to the carb. Also, when you reinstall the bowl, leave the nut slightly loose so that the air can escape--tighten as soon as fuel starts running down the side of the bowl.

With the key on, you should have current to one side of the ignition coil--check with a test light or volt meter.

Getting something running again is pretty much following the supply of necessary ingredients from the source. If you don't have fuel to the carb, work back towards the tank. If you don't have power to the coil, work back toward the key switch.

I'm not aware of any safety switches on yours--not saying there isn't, just going to have to defer that piece of info to those more familiar with that specific machine.

Hey, post some pics as well--we are all picture junkies!
