I don't know if I had it disconnected, but it was definitely not clicking. I took the air filter off, and listened to the carb. no click. I took the top of the carb off, and saw what I believe is the solenoid. (forgive me, I'm pretty green on small engines) I took out the floater, and poked around with a screwdriver, gently. It moved a little. I turn the key to "on" position, and sure enough, it clicks, and moves back.

I put the carb back together, and she fired right up! I mowed the whole lawn this morning, with no problems, before work! I may still take apart some of the fuel lines etc... just to be sure nothing is clogged. Should I take apart the solenoid to clean?

I think I attached a couple pictures one is of the 1641 (not a very good one, I was actually trying to get the deer in the background.) The other is the PTO.
