Once the starter motor spins, it still needs spark and fuel
to run. Looking at the circuits that do that:
1. The ignition sparks are generated by an ignition
module. The ignition module will work as long as the
primary windings are not grounded. With the key
switch in any position other than OFF, there is no
connection between the M (Module) terminal and the
G (Ground) terminal. See Figure 7.9.
2. There is an afterfire solenoid on the carburetor.
When it is energized, fuel flows normally through the
carburetor. When it is not energized, it closes off the
fuel flow through the main jet of the carburetor. The
purpose of the solenoid is to prevent unburned fuel
from being pumped through the engine after the igni-
tion is turned off. This unburned fuel accumulates in
the muffler and may ignite with an alarming noise.
See Figure 7.10.
