How can I hot wire a 1982 Honda ATC200E?

stumped

First off this thing is not stolen. My parents bought it from their former neighbor and yes they have the proper paper work for it.

Here is the deal. I checked continuity at the wires as the book describes to check the ignition switch. In the off position it is ok, in the on position no dice. So my folks want me to hot wire it to see if the thing even runs.

The wires are as follows: Black and red key off continuity. Yellow w/ red stripe and green key on, nothing. The key turns on the electrical circuits. I think one wire becomes hot to the lights and the other goes to the coil. According to test, it failed replace it.

This thing has a starter as well as a pull rope. I also need to wire in a starter button. It has a neutral safety switch and I have no idea where that thing is. I know one wire from the button goes to the CDI and the other is supposed to go to the Neutral safety switch.

So with all that can anyone help to try to get this thing started?

Again it is not a stolen bike. It's just that we have already invested money into it without it running yet to include a new gas tank, a new wheel and tires. My folks bought it without me taking a look at it first. And yes I have a new starter button that needs installed.

So can anyone please help me? If I get it running then it will get the needed switch.
