snowthrower
I just bought a new Craftsman snowthrower with a 8.5 horsepower Briggs & Stratton engine. Off of the electric starter there is a wire sticking out and the manual doesn't show what it is. Any ideas? Is it for an optional attatchment? Should it be tucked in somewhere?

Hello Misterb19!
If this wire is the one I am thinking of, it is actually coming from above the starter rather than from it, and is probably a wire for accessory lighting. It is fed power by the alternator when the engine is running.

With anything electrical, it is good to keep any moisture from wires/connectors/terminals. Tape it up with electrical tape and cable tie it out of the way. You don't necessarily have to tuck it out of sight, just out o fthe way of any interferrence.
