Merry Tiller Magneto Problem

Hello to you.
I think you must be talking about the coil.
It's held on by two bolts that are 4BA in size. I have had the same problem in the past, and have used a long self tapping screw to hold it secure. Araldite, although very strong, won't be strong enough to hold it in place for very long.
As for the wires, without seeing it I can't be sure as it may very well have had a replacement engine at some point. You may have a model that has a points/ condenser system, so one of the wires may well have disappeared under the flywheel to where the points are located, or, it maybe that the other wire did go down to the carb link rods to a rudimentary cut out switch.
A model/type and code number might be very useful, you will find this stamped into the metal of the engine cowling (usually up near where the spark plug would be. You can then look up your engine on the Briggs and stratton website (That is if your engine is a Briggs.
I hope you find this information useful, feel free to sing out if you want more help, and don't forget to pop up to the  welcome section and tell us all a bit about yourself.

In case gwiz is not around,thats the choke control and Briggs engines rarely start without it pulled fully out!
