Little red lever, probaly fast idle

how are you checking for spark?

Need a good charge battery, remove both spark plugs, use spark tester ste to 7/16 gap, ground the other spark plug wire so no stray voltage around to ignite gas fumes.

spin the engine and see if you are getting spark.

this is the primer solenoid replace the choke on older motors, this red lever is in the normal operating position that is activated when pushing the key.
