Look And Search for the right parts it also serves as a diagram of assembly.

No need to talk bad about any quad "SHORTY" unless you have the ***** to back it up!

 

mudbucket; Well first off "shorty 16" is and A$$. I don't have a diagram of the '96 wiring, but I'm pretty sure the is a test proceedure with a meter you can do, atleast there are for the later models. You need a meter and a test procedure out of a manual. Did you test for fire with the old plug itself, if so get a new plug and try it, I've seen plugs go bad from sitting. Also check to make sure the run-stop switch is in the run position(been there done that). If that doesn't help then disconnect the run stop switch. Otherwise make sure nothing is killing a good system. Oh yeah, you might check fuses. Pull and then reinstall them, sitting that long can cause all kinda strange problems. You should get a manual, try the libarary it's free and if it's like mine you can find and order what you want on line.
