Thank you, I am working on getting this done. Hope I can do it and it works.

Thank you, I try to find a gas shutoff valve. Is walmart a good place to get one?

Not really anything to take pictures of except a mower. I wondered about the electrical pump but there is a slight sound of something running downby the engine. I am trying to find out how to turn the fuel off in order to change the filter. I do t want to drain over 5 gallons if gas in a garage.

The seat switch is a two wire , but I can not get it unplugged. There doesn't seem to have any type of safety clasp but I have pulled with pliers on both sides if the plastic plug but i didn't want to break it. Any idea? The engine turns over like there may be a kill switch stuck!
