Craftsman LT2000 won't start

I have a Craftsman LT2000 that won't turn over with the key but will turn over straight from the starter but has no spark. We've bypassed the seat switch but aren't sure the best way to test or bypass the clutch and blade safety switches. I don't want to permanently disable these safety switches but sure do need to determine which is bad so I can get the part.
Any ideas on how I can bypass these for testing purposes or any other ideas?


Thanks

Unhook the kill wire to the coil. This will bypass all safety switches, but you won't be able to turn off the engine with the key. If still no spark, your coil is probably bad.
