Lets make sure we're talking of same type relay for starts. Here is R9 relay and pict with cover removed and terminals identified. Term 1 is fed directly from battery via starter solenoid post so does not go thru ignition switch. As to why solenoid would energize after touching with your light, if governor grounded and switches & relay functioning properly, term 3 & 4 and solenoid should have already been energized so just lit the test lamp--don't understand the on/off unless there is a bad connection when you push on it.

You can ground terminal 5 directly-just won't have all the circuitry to rule anything out but if you have determined both switches and wires good, then easier than crawling under.

When you refer to a kill switch--is that just a battery disconnect in cable from battery?

Also, looking at the 41 general schematic it appears yours does use the black connectors and the short loom so worth a look there.
