Yevick 0 #1 Posted Friday at 11:20 PM Hello everyone, just picked up a Olson and Rice Drillgine yesterday and was taking it apart to do a good clean up and see if I can get it running. The red wire that goes through the handle comes out around the magneto is not connected to anything. Wondering if any of you guys might snap a picture for me of where it goes. Also the fuel lines are not attached and I see two ports on the fuel tank and only found one place on the carb to attach a fuel line and I'm guessing that goes on the lower port of the tank. Thanks for any help you guys can give Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Wallfish 699 #2 Posted Saturday at 03:38 PM The wire should go to a kill switch button on the handle to shut down the engine by grounding the coil. Location of the switch depends on the model. One port is an air vent. It goes from the bottom of the tank to just inside of the fuel cap. The other port is the fuel feed to the carb. More than likely it will need a new carb diaphragm to run or run correctly. Check the air filter BEFORE trying to start it. If it has that old crusty material inside, it will need to be thoroughly cleaned out. Otherwise it will be sucked into the engine. Not good.
