That kill wire is grounding out, on something......... If you disconnect it, engine will drain the fuel tank right?

If you can't find it, replace it all.
Yes,

you are looking for ground where there should not be on so the clip goes on the battery + and you probe the wires
If the lamp lights up that is a fail if it stays out that is a pass

Most of the time, maybe not yours, is the starter solenoid. It is the contact for the main amperage to turn the starter/engine over. It takes all the heat and such. When you replace a starter, you should replace the starter solenoid. Again his might not be your issue. Just talking out loud.

looks like it has a fuse and an INTERLOCK MODULE, Briggs 7028606YP If all the other switches check out I would suspect the interlock module. Not sure how to or if you can check it.

I disconnected the kill wire to magneto and tested it and light came on the test lamp.what puzzles me is that l replaced solenoid just in case and hear click and nothing on starter.should l be connecting to negative on battery for testing.
