Ran fine right before -

I cleaned the carbs, new fuel lines, took off pipes and added silencer.

Now I Put everything back and NO SPARK??

I did have the power valves unplugged, then plugged them in wrong and tried starting it. Would that hurt anything?

I have the wires correct now- red and white to red and white. And the brown and orange unplugged.

Something I am missing or did wrong?

where is the last thread you started? if you repost the pics you had up of the wiring i might be able to help.i was thinkink the orange and black you had hooked together was from the throttle switch but i think they are your wires that feed the coils , which would give you no spark.

Here is the pics of the wires.

I now have the r/w going to r/w and the brown and orange(the 2 wires come out of the harness together so it looks like the would NOT be plugged in to each other) are not plugged into anything.

first find the two wires that come from the throttle switch they are the only two that don,t need to be pluged in. then look at the wires comming from your coils there should be two black wires comming from them one male connector one female. the orange wire plugs to one of these and the black to the other.
 
looking at the first pic again i think you have the two black coil wires pluged together right by the middle coil . if you connected these two together then thats where te orange and black should be connected to feed the coils.
 
I too had the same problem today, no spark it took me 2 hrs to start my SRX still don't know what I did for it to start but my arms are sore from pulling over and over LOL. I was supposed to get my PV fixed but the guy I had them do them didn't get them finished, so I just put them back on for now till I send them out. I looked at every wire thats in there and just kept doing the wiggle test and then it started firing and finally the sled ran fine

From what i can see and from doing it a million times,take the harness with the plastic plug and you will see that there is a single wire along with it in the same loom,plug one set of loom to the other set of loom,the wire are loomed together,i hope you understand what i am saying. now the orange wire and black wire are loomed or taped together telling you that they are for one specific circuit,in this case i beleive those should go to the coil wires,which i do not see in the pics, maybe they are down under the carbs. hope ypu get what i am trying to say. Good Luck Seems simple to me but hard to explain. When connecting wires keep each bundle of wires together,each loomholds a set of wires,one loom has a plastic multiple wire plug along with a single wire plug and that ataches to the other loom that has a multiple plastic plug with a single wire plug, Get it?
 
Ha Ha didnt see that till you pointed it out,thanks. Oh well i tried to help!!! That took me quite a while to type,one finger typer. #$%&* LOL
