Mocked up an IV bottle while painting continues on the tank.
Cable tied up the electricals in place.
Then attempted a startup and got nothing. Checked my spark and there was nothing. Ah, too late to sort it out so called it a night. I'm going to start with running a fresh ground wire from the engine to the battery and then go from there.
Are you shorting the connection where the "Stop/Run" switch would be in the harness? or are you just hard wiring the ignition coil to the battery/regulator?
Just want to make sure you aren't forgetting something silly like a run switch just because it's not installed yet.
Edit: hmm... just went back and you've accounted for the Kill Switch... are we sure it's a kill and not a run? (Make versus Break to run)

OK, here is a simplified design of the coil I have:
Here is how I used. As I have a single I wrongly assumed I could just connect one ignition post. Unfortunately by doing this I left the coil circuit open, meaning no spark.
