I am working on an older Ariens with 8 hp Tecumseh Snow King and want to bypass the kill awitch as it had been rewired previously and not sure what goes where I am attaching photos for review and comments.

When that wire is grounded out, it kills the spark... You can check around the machine for any safety switches and re-attach as needed. You can also just put a toggle kill switch (on/off-one wire attached to the coil, to the switch and then grounded) Obviously defeating the safety switch's could be VERY HAZARDOUS. . Quote #2
