trace the 2 gas lines back to the gas tank. the fuel line with the filter in the gas tank goes to the bottom- lower inlet of the carb. pull the spark plug. put the cap on it- ground out the plug in the area it threads into. in a shaded area, turn on the radio- pull the starter cord- look for spark on the plug. even if you have to hold the plug- its a weak spark- not like some g.m hei ignition- its not gonna knock you across the room-- as for the bolts- just tighten in a X pattern, little bit here- go to next bolt- little bit at a time on each one. once the gearbox is seated- just approx 1/8 turn more on each bolt.-- on the new carb-- if the gas lines are correct, and the carb is in correct working order- you can push the bulb forever and it will not add a drop of gas into the engine. The bulb simply purges the air out of the carb body. It should actually be called a purge bulb, not a primer bulb-- but thats just my way of thinking i suppose. best of luck to you.

All gas lines are good and hooked up where they need to be. Absolutely no spark, even with a brand new plug. I think it's gota be smthin with the kill switch which doesn't make sense. It's all plug n play. No room for error. I also don't kno what yr talking about the primer bulb? Everything i've ever owned if u prime the bulb it places gas into it
. Blower, weed eater, even this truck b4 i started modding.

I have a turtle racing pull start. I had to bend the frame to even get it to fit. The motor Has to come out.. but on a bright side I figured out the problem. Thank you all for the help!

The killer bee switch is all plug n play. So I just plugged everything in where it needed to be like a normal install. I bought the truck used and knew nothing about it but turns out after tearing it all down again I was plugging the kill switch into another dynamite kill switch. I had no idea. It was all tucked away and hidden nicely in the battery compartment but everything plugged in perfect? It's always the simple stuff. For upgrades, I recommend every mod I did. Totally different Beast!
What was it?
