Update, checked the black and white wire a volt meter. There is no electrical current in the black and white wire, when the ignition is switched off and the kill switch is in the not kill position.

When I switch the ignition on, there is no current in the black and white wire. This is with the kill switch in the not kill position.

With the kill switch in the kill position there is a current being sent through the black and white wire. With the ignition switched off.

With the kill switch in the kill position and the ignition turned on there is no current in the black and white wire.

With all these tests out of the way, would this indicate that the black and white wire is in the right place? Being connected to the positive side of the coil?

Forget my last post, I just repeated the tests again. I don't get a reading at all for any of them now.

Motorcycle kill switches usually short the ignition system to ground to kill the engine.

As John M says, check it to the frame I always thought they went to earth on older wiring systems.

NO, NO.... This is not a mag John, Its an on-off switch which breaks the ignition circuit..

Expect Dave already tried this and has popped the fuse, now nothing works..

Just guessing at this stage. ;)
