I bought a craftmen lawn tractor K1000.It sat for two years.The engine turns over but won't try to start.I use etther ,it runs for a second.There is a wire connection at the bottom of the float bowel'Is this a valve?

Hi,
That is the anti-backfire solenoid on the bottom of the carb. It could be gummedup after sitting/ Likely the whole carb is.
The solenoid can be removed and cleaned with carb cleaner and manually operating the plunger.
Peace,
Clarke

Thanks for aswering my question.I did get it started since I ask the question.It ran pretty rough for a while.I left it warm up and then I changed the oil and added some STP gas additive.
