Default Suddenly No Spark 1994 Kodiak

Last year I replaced the stator, CDI, coil, and had the cylinder ground and replaced the piston. I reworked all wiring and connections.
The Kodiak ran great until this morning when it just quit as I was coming to a stop in my driveway and wouldn't start.

I just checked for Spark, and there is none. I when through the connections I could reach without removing the body.

Before I start another tear down, does anyone have any thoughts?

Thanks, Thom

I think I found the trouble after removing all the front plastic and gas tank, I ohm'd out the coil and other connections.
When I checked continuity in the RUN/STOP switch there was none in either position.

It appears the piece holding the BLACK & the B/W wire in the switch had dislodged. I repositioned it and now there's continuity between those wires were they connect to the wiring harness.

It got dark on me, so I'll test it tomorrow. Wish me luck.

Well the RUN/STOP switch wasn't the fix I hoped it would be. Connected it back to the wiring harness this morning...still no spark. --- Let the testing continue.
