Unhappy 1994 Polaris 400 sportsman 2 stroke

Hey all, I the two wires ( red white and red) from the key switch touched and then i lost spark. i smelled a little plastic burn but i cant trace it back to anything. I have replaced the CDI, Spark plug, stator and rewired the whole board. still no luck! bunch of crap. Looking for some help please!!!
Thank you!

Have you checked all your fuses? Next, try a new ignition. BTW, I had a 96, it was a hoot once I fixed everything wrong. Also, if your exhaust runs hot, gut out the muffler. Mine was plugged with 5 pounds of soot.

Check the little circuit breaker in the little black pouch back by the battery. You may have fried the ignition switch also.
