In all my years in automotive as well as off-road be it buggies, atv's or scooters solid green is ground. If as you say that green wire which goes to the on off switch was hot, then when the switch is made you would have a direct short since the other side of the switch goes to ground and wires would surely burn up.
The Yerf is different. When the switch is closed, ground is applied to the CDI and suppresses coil output (no spark). When the switch is left open the CDI can drive the coil.
