Default '76 FXE starter wiring problem

"76 FXE, my handle bar control switches were damaged, the on-off rocker switch is broke and the starter button was broke, pulled the switch housing apart, removed the rocker switch and swapped the turn signal button as the starter, I soldered the gray and black wires to the terminals, and the starter turns over, but I have no spark at the plugs, where does my white wire from the rocker go, do I need to install a new on-off switch. Just got the bike last week, looks like there has been some work done to the wiring here and there, it has a old style FLH 3 light dash. It was running before I "fixed it". I have a Clymer manual w/wiring diagram. I did check the Ign circuit breaker and I have juice there. When I got it, the buttons didn't work, I had to jump the soleniod with a screw driver to crank the starter. thanks.

White wire is the wire going to the coil.....grey wire powers the ign so yes you need another rocker switch or solder the grey and white together.
