OK, but have you actually TESTED those safety switches individually?....with a meter?
If yes and they are all good, then you are left with the solenoid itself or the start button itself or the wire in between (or maybe a fuse or a relay). You NEED a shop manual.
As for the gas thing, next step is to open the drain on the bottom of the carb bowl, then put it on PRIme and see if gas comes out the drain.
If it does but it still won't run without ether, then it's carb time.
You might be able to do some good by putting full strength Gumout or Berryman's B12 directly down the fuel hose to the carb into an empty bowl until it won't take anymore. Then do the ether fire thing once. Then let it sit for at least 24 hours. Drain and flush the carb bowl. Pray.
If that improves things at all, then carb. cleaner in the first couple of tank fulls may nurse it back to life.
