Hi All

Just a newbie question.

I just can't get my head around the wires that go in to the g4 Victa carby off a PT engine

I'm rebuilding a G4 Victa carby with some new parts and it all seemed pretty straight forward and understandable however one thing that confuses me are the ignition wires, (photo attached) these are the two wires thar go in through the cap and one terninal goes in to the body of the carburetor through the cap.

How do those wires actually work? Do they touch each other and act as a full circuit and does something from the plastic revolving piece to knock in to them to short circuit them them and therefore stopping the mower? I just can't really understand how they work.

Also does it matter which which wire and lug goes in to the main carby body or can they be installed in either opening of the terminal area or do they need to go in to the specific hole and will it only work if one of the cables goes in to the main body ?

Also if you connect up the carby and take the spark plug out of the engine and put the spark plug on the engine body and it sparks can you assume the wires on the carby have been installed correctly?

Thanks
