There is a switch on the starter. It is the device the big cable is attached to. There should be a mechanical (pull rod) attached to this switch. If these (and a good battery ground are connected, the engine should spin over (it may not start, but it will turn over.
The other switch is either a mag kill switch that is open when pulled out , and closed (conducting) when pushed in.
If it has a coil and distributor, not mag, the ignition switch is open when pushed in, and closed when pulled out. This switch shuts off electricity from getting to the coil, thus stopping the engine when pushed in.

A wire off of a coil system will keep it from running, but not cranking. A wire off of a Mag system will let it run but be unable to shut it off. Tell us more details. JimN
