That is the compression release system. There is a bar missing, which attaches to the recoil.
It aids in starting the motor manually by releasing a bit of compression in the cylinder to aid in roping it over in case you are not Hercules! It does nothing when the starter turns the motor over. Just the recoil.
PM me with your email address and Ill send you a wiring diagram.
