No spark and starter does not turn over when pushing start..

Hi Guys, Im new to this forum so I'm still learning, I recently bought a 1993 XJ600 Diversion. I bought it for a bargain. Ive started to slowly clean it little by little.Ive changed the starter solenoid because the old one was not working. After this I'm facing two big problems , one of which, being that when I push the start button nothing happens apart form oil light, but when I use a screw driver and touch the both bolts on the solenoid, there is some sparks and the starter turns and tries to fire the engine up with no result.The next big problem is that when the starter turns over I get fuel and air but no spark at the plugs... Any advice would be appreciated.

Thank you

One of the cut out switches.

Either Killswitch, Clutch or Side Stand. Is the bike in gear?

The bike is in neutral and all the stands are up, I don't think it a kill switch problem to be honest. Thanks for the advice.

Ive done all the kill switches, tried holding in the clutch while cranking over but no spark what so ever.

What Volts do you get at the battery?

Standing & when cranking?

When you say no spark. Is that holding a plug against the engine casing? or a guess because its not firing up.

Yeah I get no spark what so over when I touch the spark plug to a metal part of the engine.

Kill switch? Start to bypass all the switches to eliminate a faulty one.

One of your fuses is blown. The neutral light, horn, brake lights etc are on a different fuse to the ignition.
The oil light is an oil LEVEL light not oil pressure. It will light when cranking to prove the bulb works. If it lights any other time check your oil level.

Wiring diagram attached. The coils and the RUN switch are fed power by the red/white wire. That's the fuse which is blown.

Thanks guys for the advice, I will try these methods tomorrow, by the way I've checked all the fuses and they seem to be in good order.

When you go to make a reply, scroll down a bit and click 'add an attachment' button.

Anyway, take your meter and check the voltage at the red/white wires at the coil with the ignition and run switch on.

I just tried to see, i put my multimeter on 20v and probed the switch, I got 0. I may have done something wrong bearing in mind I'm not that good with electrics.
