Hi arron (i think) i have seen your scooter with an engine (well it used to have an engine before you put it on your kart) and i have the same engine for my kart and would like to know how to connect the kill switch up as i know one end has to be grounded but what about the other

Hehe... sounds like you need an ignition kill switch for your car Aaron.
If I ever see an RX7 embedded in a wall the first thing out of my mouth will be:
"Aaron, is that you?"

Yikes. That's an evil system. You can run a ground wire to the NON-GROUNDED breaker point. Grounding that wire will kill ignition.

My brother has an old lawn mover engine. don't know what make, but its a 1 cylinder 4 stroke engine, and everything uses the metal engine block as ground, the magneato (spelling) has 1 wire to the plug (which receives ground through casing) and another which goes through a 0.2 farad cap. to ground and to the breaker points of which the other side is again connected to ground. Kill switch is a metal tab about the plug, which when pushed down grounds it out, surely there is a better way if doing this, would grounding the wire on the other side of the magneato work?

LOL. That's just a little '78 with all of 100HP. Imagine a slightly modded Turbo II (86-92). Easy to get 250HP out of the engine with bolt-ons. Or my car when it's finished...bridgeported turbo 6-port high compression engine, probably into the high to mid 11s in the 1/4... 
Or if you want to get fun, the 20B three rotor swap....

Well yeah, that was the ultimate solution. But the real issue is when the throttle sticks, the car TAKES OFF. All four barrels of that little carb pumping fuel into a rotary that just wants to scream towards redline...Takes you by surprise, especially when the car will reach 50 MPH in 1st gear...

Try driving an RX-7 and having the carb stick at wide open...that's an experience. Especially on one of the busiest streets in London...

There should be a wire coming out from under the flywheel. It connects to the condensor in the breaker box (under flywheel). If you ground that wire, you will cut ignition.
