Well, what switches do is connect or disconnect wires. Since you connected the wires manually and it works then the ignition switches are bad, or the wires to the ignition switch are bad (but those wires would need to have been bypassed when you did you rewiring).

As a verification I would ohm out the ignition switch(es) you have with your meter (as per the previous post). If this too verifies that the switch(es) aren't working as it should then you have a bad series of switches.

so you took the plug out and inserted the coil wire over the plug, grounded the plug to the jug/cylinder and cranked the engine. is that how you tested for spark? check all of your wiring connections to/from the coil/cdi. let's verify all connections then we'll move on to testing.

Yes, definitely verify you are doing the spark test correctly as Jaster94 already posted.

What year is this buggy?

Do you knowif you have a DC powered CDI or AC powered CDI?

Do you have a meter?

Does anyone have a hose diagram for the hammerhead twister carb?

I want to make sure the hoses are connected in the right spots.
