Bridged out kill switch? Kill switch needs to be open. You simply remove the wires and insulate them. If it is an early Force, disconnect the white wire at the engine terminal block and see if you get spark. If you do, then your problem is the work you did on the kill switch.

Re: force 125 no fire

A simple and cheap in-line spark tester will be very handy for this kind of problems. But as Frank said, the kill switch is normally open. The term "bridge" is always inferred as "permanently connect" so if that's what you're trying to convey, it need to be removed.
