Temporary toggle switch ignition

I've decided to run a toggle switch ignition on my t350 until my new key and ignition show up.
Does anybody know what colors wire to mate together in order to get a spark to bypass the switch. I've tried them all one way or another but no luck getting any spark.
So the ignition wires are grey orange brown and a heavier gauge for the battery. Any help is greatly appreciated. I just got the engine back in the frame and unseized and done up. I just wanna hear it fire up soooo badly
Thanks again, Dan

Joining the red and orange wires together will give you ignition and spark to the plugs.
Dan I had to edit your first post a bit as the spelling was a bit "out there"

ah ha! Thats the one combination i didnt try because i havent orderd a new battery yet. Would this combination work without a battery? Been havin truck/ real life issues, so the majority of my daylight hours are in under the hood of the samurai . Cleaning the t350 barts that have a zillion years or road dirt and rust..

Thanks again fellas :up:

I believe the T350 has an excited field alternator charging system just like the T500. So it needs a fully charged 12 volt power source to start and run the engine.

The T250/T350 alternator uses a permanent magnet rotor.
Some start & run fine without a battery. Others won't run good without a battery.

You may find your bike really difficult to start without a battery.

These bikes don't have a voltage regulator. They use the battery as a voltage regulator. So you should expect blown bulbs if you use the bike without a battery.

You can use a larger battery to test your rebuilt engine.
