98 fe501e stopped starting

After changing my oil and lubing the chain the other day, I tried to start my bike. I kicked it a few times and it would start, run for a second and die. I did this probably 10 times. While looking the bike over for anything obvious, I noticed that in my haste, I'd forgotten to pull the two secret switches. I think these are part of the enduro kit to make the bike street legal. Anyway they came on the bike when I bought it.
I laughed at myself, clicked both switches and kicked the bike over expecting it to fire up. Nothing doing. Same thing, after a few kicks the bike would start, stumble and die.
Did I fry something by starting it with these switches off?
I'm about to start running through the fuel system and check to make sure it's breathing fine. I know these are simple things that should be easily done, but I live in an apartment with no garage, so it's an ordeal to drag everything out.
Any insight would be appreciated, I think my wife's tired of carting me back and forth to work, and I'm anxious to be back on the road.

Thanks, I haven't been out yet this morning, but I'm on my way. I checked the plug and there's still a good strong blue spark. I have to dig out my manual and check this out, but it looks like there's a big bolt sticking out the bottom of the carb. can I just pull this to check for fuel? I'll probably pull the carb anyway, but just wondering about that. Fuel flows out the petcock when I pull the line off, and with a few blasts of carb cleaner into the carb, the bike will fire, so I think it's got to be the carb. The plug came out dry after every starting attempt.
I wonder how my wife will take a carburetor on the dining room table?

Clean carb's a happy carb. It looked meticulous in there, but after a thorough disasembly and cleaning, the bike started right up. Time for a Sunday ride.
