There’s a grounding post on the engine,  
  
 passenger’s side, between the fuel pump  
  
 and carburetor. It’s brass. It’s off.  
  
 The post has a hole in it; the mount to  
  
 which it was attached has a hole: it could  
  
 be threaded, but no screw I have fits: 4 is  
  
 too thick, 2 too thin; an odd one I have around screws in a bit but doesn’t hold. A  
  
 17-mm (or 21/32 inch) nut holds the mount  
  
 on, but I can’t budge it.  
  
  
  
 Neither my Haynes nor my Chilton’s identifies the connector.  
  
  
  
 Does anyone know what this is? It  
  
 runs without it.
