I bought this motor this morning and got it running fine. It's supposed to be an electric start but there is no key or kill switch. On the front of the motor at the bottom is a strange looking plug (male) is this where the starter switch is supposed to be? There is a starter motor under the clamshell. Any help such as pictures of what is missing and or where I could find it. Thanks

Yea, you need the wiring harness to run to that motor.

All that is there is under the clamshell. Just the plug on the front of the motor
