Craftsman 917.272352 Lawn Tractor wont fully start

We have the above lawn mower, and it wont start. it turns over, but thats about all. We have replaced fuel filter, battery, and spark plug. we also took carb out and cleaned it well. we have a wire that we arent sure where it goes, anyone have any ideas? (see attached)
