When replacing the key switch, did you replace it with the correct one. There is a difference between a switch for a magneto ignition, and a battery ignition. However, you said you replace the ignition coil and the magneto coil. There can only be one or the other. A magneto system has no ignition coil and vice-versa. So lets try to figure out what you have. Do you have the ID number for the C-145? What is the year? Which engine does it have? Do you have the spec number from the engine? I'm sure we can get you going if we have the right info.

It is a 1-14259 and I replaced the switch with a 5 pin 3 position should be a 1980 model year with a k321AS and spec is 60362d

That spec is a battery points ignition with a 15 amp Stator for charging.  The regulator you have sitting loose is not the correct one.. The finned one mounted on the hoodstand is.  Run a jumper from Battery+ to the + terminal on the coil crank it and see if you get spark,

If you had power on the coil and no spark next thing is points... Make sure they are opening and closing and clean them up...

C-145 has a fuse taped into the wire harness in the area between the starter and regulator. Check that for the heck of it
