Long story short, I replaced a starter solenoid, but I took it apart so long ago that I don't remember how to connect all the wires. So I Was unable to start the engine.
BUT I do have a manual and it shows how to connect all but one. Thanks, Manual~!!
It's a Briggs 11.5 Engine, model 21R807 Type 0058 F1
Below are links to images, One I took of the actual wire and one from the manual of the conductor in question. It is Red, and has a ring connector that is in the ignition housing next to the solenoid. Thatred wire runs through a poly conduit
and exits the conduit next to the engine and then through a connector that looks suspiciously like a Fuseable link and then into the engine somewhere. If it is a fusable link there is no way to replace it, which is weird.
and below is a shot from the manual it's the wire with the world "This" next to it

Oh and I forgot - - - The engine starts and stops and runs just fine with that red mystery wire connected to nothing. but it definitely is a Briggs Factory wire. So what is it?
I have dragged it across ground while running the engine it generates little arcs like it's trying to hook up and not the larger arcs as if there was a short
I've checked it for continuity it connects to nothing, but that little black covered slug has my hackles up.
Any advice is appreciated
