Hi guys, Just rebuilt a 16 hp briggs from a short block , but cant find where a wire goes. The wire in question comes from the carb and goes to a male spade end somewhere? All the other wires on motor are tube shaped connectors, can't find a spade end anywhere.

The wire from the bottom of the carb is the fuel shut off solenoid. This wire needs 12v supplied to it with the ignition on for the engine to run. Investigate the ignition switch and see which wires come live with the ignition on, and splice your carb wire into there.
