Looking at the wires, there could be a break or bad or broken connection. The carb switch could also be bad. If you have an Ultramatic, putting it in park or neutral is necessary. If a manual trans, just make sure it is in neutral and emerg brake is on.

If Ultramatic, the 6 volts goes from ignition switch, to the transmission safety switch on the drivers side of trans toward the rear (which will be closed only in park and neutral) and then to the carb switch. Pressing the accelerator then closes that switch and supplies 6v to the solenoid. In a manual trans, it is just from ign switch to carb switch.
