Wondering if this set up is even capable of producing spark, could be stressing over my own stupidity
 
It'll be fine...?

Just making sure you 100% know my situation and set up right now. 
I don't even have an ignition switch or starter relay on it right now, I just turn it over with a big cable. Is this how it's supposed to be wired as simple as possible? Can you spot anything that would eliminate spark? I mean seriously, I don't even have a loom, or fuses yet. Low oil pressure is not hooked up to anything. The color brown on the rectifier is the only one that was different from the wiring diagram I was using, so I ignored it and hooked it up in the orientation it was on the diagram regardless of color. See the picture

 
I will do you a diagram in the morning, what you have at the moment will never work

Well... simply it being wrong is me getting somewhere! I didn't know where to look. Here I am thinking I need to buy more parts when it's wrong from the beginning. Thanks in advance, for the diagram

OK so here is a basic diagram that should do all you want, also I have included a switch panel that will cover "Ign, Start & oil warning"
