ELECTRONIC THROTTLE
CONTROL (ETC) SWITCH
The Electronic Throttle Control (ETC) system is
designed to stop the engine of an ATV in the event of
a mechanical problem with the throttle mechanism.
The ETC switch is mounted independently of the
throttle actuator lever inside the throttle block
assembly. This is a normally closed switch, and is
held in the open position (contacts are separated (as
shown below) by throttle cable tension. The contacts
are “open” during normal operation regardless of
throttle lever position. In the event of a mechanical
problem in the throttle mechanism (cable tension is
lost), the switch contacts close, connecting the CDI
black wire to ground, which prevents ignition spark.
This is the same as turning the key or engine stop
switch “OFF”.
Test the ETC switch at the harness connector. NOTE:
Adjust throttle cable freeplay (ETC switch) and make
sure throttle mechanism is functioning properly before
testing the switch. Refer to Maintenance Chapter 2
for cable adjustment procedure.
ETC OPERATION TEST
Remove throttle block cover by carefully releasing all
tabs around edge of cover.
Place transmission in neutral and apply parking
brake.
Start engine and open throttle lever slightly until
engine RPM is just above idle speed.
Hold throttle cable with fingers at point “A” as shown
below and release throttle lever. If the ETC system is
functioning properly, the engine will lose spark and
stop.
Switch contacts are open
during normal operation

Again you're jumping a head of yourself.What about the fuel supply to the carb,have you solved that issue yet?. You were going to buy a fuel pump.
"Today changed spark plug. It has spark. I think fuel pump is broken I took it apart and cleaned it that did not help so I'm going to buy a new one. There was no gas getting to the carb"

This is why I showed you the video. 1/8" maximum slack on the throttle lever so the etc contacts would be open.Too much slack and the contact points can touch and the machine wont crank..

You have to pop the throttle cover off,adjust the cable to wher there is 1/8" slack at the lever. The contact points should be open.
