My latest tinker is a Atco B17 deluxe,and my problem I cannot see where the cut out switch attached to the carburettor control is supposed to connect to to ground the magneto I have a deep suspicion that I may have the wrong manifold on it,anyone got a photo of this part please

I had a quick trawl photos on my pc and found this of an A98 with the last Zenith type carb', with inlet tube by then being part of the carb top, it shows the cut out wire location upon an insulated fitment integral with the carb.

 With the handlebar throttle lever clicked past slow run the extension of the carb throttle arm makes contact, shorting to earth, cutting the ignition.
