R not getting a spark

[sly400ex]

I've got an 87 R I bought with the intentions of making it a little more fun.;) It started fine and ran fine before I started my rebuild. Well, I've got everything back together and I am not getting any sparkl! Does the housing for the lightd/kill switch have to be attached to the bars for a proper ground or something? Also when I bougt it, the on/off kill switch never worked. It's broken, so.... Do the lights have to be hooked back up?? Also, there is a heat sink looking part up in the front that has to do with the electrical system that I cannot figure out where it goes. I will attach a few pics in a minute. Does it have to be grounded? Thanks in advance guys!;)

heatsink, where do I hang it at? Does it have to be grounded??

That heat sink goes on the snorkel tube there should be piece of metal that hangs off that it clips on. It's not really a heat sink either, it's actually a regulator for your lights so you don't blow the bulbs.

I forgot that all your switches have to be grounded or else you won't get any spark, after i rebuilt mine i dind't have any spark because the kill switch went bad and had to be replaced.

Grounding the system kills it. The ground is a heavy green wire with an eye. Mine was attached to where the snorkel bolts to the frame under the gas tank. I have broke my kill switch before, disconect it(or take it apart). If it runs then that is the problem. Check all your connections, make sure they snapped in.
