    Hi,
    That is the fuel shut-off solenoid that is on OHV engines to try to prevent afterfire or backfires. If it is not opening, it would cause the situation you describe. It should have battery voltage applied in the run position, and usually will click when the switch is turned on.
    Peace,

16 H P Briggs carb will not take gas without squirting into top. Gas IS getting to carb. Wire is hot to anti backfire/fuel shutoff solenoid but it does not click. I'm told it's bad. How do you remove it. I see no threads or how to remove it. Thanks Buddy
