Bench test K341

I'd like to bench test a K341 and want to make sure I'm not missing something or don't mess something up.  Is it as simple as 12v to the starter and grounded to the block, 12v to the coil lead, and some fuel in the line or down the throat of the carb?

Thanks guys, I got it going.  I have a knock-off JawHorse that I clamped a 4x4 in, then a large piece of 3/4" plywood was screwed to it and the engine bolted to the plywood.  Stable as can be and it worked out really well!  I fought with this thing for an hour last night until I realized that both adjustment screws on the carb were nearly all the way in.  I backed them out the prescribed 2 1/2 and 3 1/2 turns and she first right up!

      Site programming updates were made 3/23/2024. As a result some things have changed including dues payment options. We will continue maintenance and work with technicians to regain credit card payment option and clear up minor challenges. On positive it appears attaching pictures is now easier. Good day. Gene
