Wendy, you can unplug the voltage regulator and the engine will still fire so no is your answer. At least I have never heard of that issue.
I just got through re-wiring one of these carts and its pretty simple. Grounding problems cause more issues that I can count.
I didn't go back and re-read your post but I will ask you ?
Did you remove the metal bracket that holds the ignitor, regulator and solenoid ?
It has to be clean and free from rust. I take a grinder and make sure I hit bare metal if I am in doubt about it making good ground.

Your braided ground cable bolts to bottom of that bracket coming from battery. From there it goes to starter end ground terminal and then to bolted with 6mm bolt ( 10 mm head ) to the coil bracket. Is yours like this ?

You should have a .5 volt ac signal when spinning over engine at the ends of pulser coil. You could very well have installed a bad new part.
Spin your engine over while sticking the end of a test light on positive side of coil. Does the test light blink or stay steady ?
