1977 Kawasaki 440

Started up just fine, I went to go start again and the push button ignition started acting up....

I took it apart to inspect, was a little corroded so I cleaned it all up, before I soder it back together I decide to touch the yellow wire to the black...

Nothing happened, battery is good, I located the starter and tried to jump it there but I'm not sure if I had a good connection...

I was possibly thinking that maybe since the ignition button was a little silly that maybe the kill switch could be stopping a connection...

Anyone have any ideas, this is my first ski, bought for $200 runs strong but electical problem....
