Kill/Neutral/key switch question.

I have a 1988 Dyna Trak 180 ss with a 1988 Evinrude 150xp model # E150STLCCA I was wondering are the Neutral and kill switch or key in off tied together in series or are they separate in the controls? or when the key is in the off position is it and the safety switch tied together in series? The reason I ask is I believe that I have a faulty kill switch I ended up cutting the wire at the switch itself and separated both wires and I don't get any spark if I go to the motor itself and unhook both connectors on both sides with the black wire and yellow tracer then the motor will fire right up. So I am assuming that I have a wire grounded somewhere from the big red plug back to the controls itself. So why I was wondering if any of these are in series to kill the motor. I have a Selco manual but it dosnt really show much on that. Thanks for the help.


I did post this in the electrical section but I didn't know if it needed to be here as well since it pertains to the motor.
 
Key in stop grounds ignition as NO when on. Same with kill tether. Neutral switch has no effect on spark,just if starter can be engaged.
