No spark on hawk :(

In the middle of finishing up tuning the carb the bike died after running a few minutes on idle. Wouldnt start. It cranks and turns over, has compression, spark plug is wet with fuel. I initially thought it might have been the coil, checked the resistance, and its good, then I thought maybe its the spark plug wire..swapped out the coil and wire into another bike and it was getting spark. So the coil and plug is good, fuel is good. but no spark

I really dont wanna cut into the wire harness and follow the 2 wires from coil and see if there is a connectivity issue or maybe the kill switch malfunctioned.

Any suggestions?
