Hopefully, the pictures uploads are fixed for the time being. Let me know if you continue to have issues. I am looking into a more permanent solution. Thanks for your patience. - Makotosun

To recap, my thinking (and adguy's) is that it might be an earth wire is killing your spark. Alternatively, your bike might not have the black ignition testing wire that other models have, and we could be on a wild goose chase!

You would be several million down the list of people who have been fooled by a "continuity test" on the points magneto wire... if such a list were kept.
So why not try using a jumper wire to ground?

You are free to ignore the advice and suggestions... and you're free to continue to assume the black wire is a "ground" when by your description of location and of the spark quitting when connected to the flasher it appears to some of us to be a black wire that is part of the ignition circuit.
You have the huge advantage of "being there" and seeing and experiencing what is going on... you've been told a "continuity test" will not distinguish a magneto ignition wire from a true ground... so hopefully you'll figure it out, whatever it turns out to be.
