Thanks LAB. At this point, I’m not sure what I’m dealing with. The y/w wire top button on left side is the kill switch. I’ve got power there unless you push the button. It was disconnected. There’s a b/w wire to w cluster under tank but it’s male. I just don’t know where the kill switch wire is supposed to go. No b/w per diagram.

Kill switch is wired in series from ign switch power through to points plate I believe. So it interrupts points power when pressed.
You can fit a bypass switch direct from battery to points if you just want to confirm the problem and or fire up bike.

For points the white/yllow should connect to white/blue to the ballast resistor that connects to both coil negative terminals through a white/purple wire then either a black/white or black/yellow from each coil positive to each points set and one condenser each.
Early switch layout.
Later layout.

Based on what you have just described above.... The Yellow/White should be connected to the Blue/White but instead the B/W is connected directly to the White which means the kill switch has already been essentially bypassed. The Blue/White is the power to the points through the ballast resister. Check connections of the B/W wires at the ballast resister under the tank. Also, Yellow/White is considered White/Yellow and Blue/White is White/Blue

Yes careful how you refer to the wires as there's also a blue/white wire (sorry, headlamp main beam wire) although in the headlamp shell and one switch cluster harness.
