I did try using starter fuel, but i did not check for spark because engine fired up for about 3 seconds on 2 occasions and that was it. I'll check for spark tomorrow , I wired solenoid directly to battery for testing purposes , I'm not sure f it should to hooked up differently on side of solenoid where starter is hooked up to.

That will work for testing.

I got it started but only with starter fluid ,I'm not able to start with gas , carb might be dirty so ill try no clean on Saturday , I also got motor without muffler So i got one off a 14 hp kohler but my motor is 16 hp.

I would remove the carb and give it a good bath.
