Or a piece of vacuum hose from a car. I've made more than one repair by chopping off a bit of vacuum hose from a run that had slack in it, or connected to some emission stuff that I really didn't care about.

Right, use something to bundle and protect the wires. Use grandma's yarn if you have to.

While U had the carb off did U check the fuel shut off solenoid. Turn the key on and listen for the solenoid to click. If not U can test it just plug it in with it screwed out of carb. turn the key on to see if the plunger retracts. If not most of the time U can clean it with carb cleaner. Spray it and work the plunger until it operates freely.

Yes, switch is good.

When you get off the seat, that switch should be a short or close to 0 Ohms. That switch shorts the ignition coil out and prevents spark. When you sit down on the seat, switch should read OPEN.
Not all the time some seat switches activate a relay and in that case could read right the opposite. Which would kill the engine.
