Hi Gadge, when I first came across this setup I couldn't believe what I was looking at, I was sure somebody had had a complete brain fade and they had put the carb on back the front, what delusional person could do that, but then I realized the snorkel had been made that way. Not one of the better ways of displaying of Australian ingenuity. Easy fix is turn the carb around the way it should be and run the later snorkel out the other side as all the later ones did.
Back to the kill switch wires itforsenior, with the throttle in the run position, pull the wire that runs through the carby housing at right angles first, then see if you have spark, if not you will have to investigate under the flywheel
AVB you are right, I was driving along the freeway a couple of days ago and the grass on the side of the road is all green, unheard of in Australia this late in January, it is usually brown or burnt
