the big round one is the balast resistor, bike should still run with out it but you wont have any lights. check the connections to the coil and remove the plug cap and check there is a good contact.
try shorting out the kill switch ( follow it back to the connector) the kill switch will stop sparking

what do you mean you've taken them out of the picture? if you mean you've removed them then that is why you have no spark.

if i put the kill switch in the ON position the netural light is dimmer than when the kill switch is OFF??
