I have a similar diagram in my service manual, although yours is a lot nicer.

I am still not sure where the actual neutral safty switch is located on the tractor.

But here is a quick update along with new problems

Last night I was able to install a timesert to repair the stripped sparkplug threads by the previous owner. I also got the new solienoid and wired it corectly (I left the two unknows disconnected). I can now use the key to start the tractor (if it ran). Woot.

So the new problem is...... it will only run with a shot of starting fluid. Other then that you get nothing. I went through and cleaned the carb on the tractor, and double checked fuel was getting into the bowl, all is good. I then took the carb off the tractor and realized that the main jet rod is actually stuck in the carb, I tried giving it a few taps from the bottom, but I did not want to damage it. I have it soaking in some PB Blaster. my new question is should this Main jet/rod come out the top when you remove the main adjuster? Or does the rod stay in the carb? I would think it should come out.

Well I am out for the rest of weekend, looks like I will have to attack it monday after work. The grass is almost tall enough to cut, I really want to get it running so I don't have to use my silly Snapper any more.

Thanks
