One more dumb question

[pdavid]

On a 1982 model, what is the purpose of the contraption on the outside of the engine on the flywheel housing. It has a fitting for a gas line?? and a connection for a cable. The cart has both disconnected. Someone has also cut the wires to the limit switch on the throttle and replaced it with a toggle switch. I'm assuming, if I ever get this thing running, that the toggle will have to be used every time I come to a stop??
thanks, pdavid

Hello David. That would be the carburetor.

No Matti,
I maybe dumb but I'am not that dumb, I know what a carb looks like. I think what i'm looking at is part of the oil injection system that has also been disconnected.

Okay good. If it is the oil injector, it is possible that it is disconnected because they bypassed it, since they have a tendency to stop working with out warning which can run your engine dry of oil and seize it up. Is it possible you could post a detailed picture of it?
