check for a spark
If there is none one of the safety switches is active

It has spark and would there still be a way for them to be activated if the wire harness is completely taken out?
Also the bowl on the carb does that need to have power all the time?

As for the fuel solenoid on the carburetor it does power all the time when cranking and running.

Cranking circuit and magneto kill circuits are totally separate
The magneto circuits are all open then close to ground to turn the magneto off
Cranking circuits are all battery power so either open or 12V .
The solenoid on the carb can be replaced with a short bolt or the plunger cut off
I do not recommend doing either as the solenoid provides a back up should the kill circuits fail.

If you squirt a primer of gas into the carb throat and the engine briefly tries to start and run is a hint that the carb solenoid plunger is not retracting.
You can disable (defeat) the carb Anti Backfire solenoid if desired per bertsmobile1 hint.

The carburetor anti backfire solenoid going bad happens more than you think. I repaired them my way last year several times. Even when they are working, they can be intermittent and cause problems.
Run kill wire from eng to toggle thats grounded on dash. Use only starter solendoid and ign switch or push button to start. simple and usable as toy.
