Like joe said, is the status light blinking when turning the motor over? The pink wire is the trigger, it momentarily grounds the coil to complete the circuit of the primary side of the coil which will energize the secondary side of the coil sending 20-30,000v to the plugs.
So pull the plugs and hook them back up to the plug wires and then ground them. With the ignition on and confirmed power to the positive side of the coil, momentarily ground the negative side of the coil. you should see the spark plugs fire..
ONE MORE THING, MAKE SURE WHEN YOU GROUND THE COIL THAT IT'S ONLY MOMENTARY... IF YOU KEEP IT GROUNDED TOO LONG YOU COULD BURN UP THE PRIMARY SIDE OF THE COIL...

If I am mistaken about what you said... excuse me... You are in good hands... carry on..
In the old days this was a good place for children.... "Here hold this a second"
Prolly child abuse or some crap now days tho...ya gotta hold it yerself!!!!
Finally... you are risking "run-on" if you run the starter without plugs in the engine... Not at all uncommon if the plugs are out... One good place for John Jzjz's dual relay system...
