Air Filter, screws on carb, and ignition wires

It does? Odd .... Well, if it's working okay, then tape off the end of the wire, and tuck it someplace out of the way. Make sure you don't lay it near any hot surfaces, so the insulation doesn't melt off. I wonder if it was originally set up for a key switch ....

most grounds either go to a common ground in the harness or to the engine or frame

That's why I wanted to see it..

ok thanks for all the replys guys!! im just going to kill the engine with the killswitch until i can find time to fix that since i had been working on it for a few days Ill post a pic of the wire when i am ready to fix it
