First place I'd look would be the new key switch. Do you have the safety lanyard hooked up. A shop manual would detail steps to take to diagnose and fix your problem.

accessories aren't tied into the engine circuit. The safety lanyard opens the kill circuit. Without the safety lanyard attached the kill circuit is closed and even though the starter will crank the engine will get no fire.

Unplug the large red connector on the port side of the engine. This will remove the key and lanyard switches from the circut. Use a remote starter switch at the starter solenoid and see if you get spark. If you do, then isolate which switch or wire is causing the problem. Just remember the engine will not shut down unless you reconnect the red plug again. The key and lanyard switches ground the ignition system, it's not a 12 volt powered system like a car.
