Hey just saw your crosspost.

First, please describe the issue more:

* it won't turn over at ALL when you press the start button? * If so, do any of the lights come on and or dim when you try to start? * Does it make a clicking sound like blit-t-t-t-t-t-t? (starter relay trying but not enough juice) * or it tries to turn over but won't start? * Does it turn over slow? * Does it sound like it's trying to fire at all or is it just turning over, different sounds, ones more steady, the other is more clunky (clunky is good means it's trying, steady means it's not sparking) * Does the kickstart work? unplug the four pin harnes directly behind the key and try the kickstart * Are you holding the brake when starting? Try holding both brakes or one at a time. * Make sure there is NOT a kickstand switch, if there is you need to learn to bypass it. (there usually isn't)

So, systematic things to check. I pick these up cheap and fix these all the time. Let me see how much I can remember.

If it won't turn over at ALL:

1. Check the battery voltage, you need 13+. Get a jump starter to use while you're testing all this. They wear out in a heartbeat. While you're at it check the terminals 2. Check the MAIN fuse, usually near the battery. 9 times out of ten this is just blown. You often only have 1 of these. 3. Check the the CDI plug and unplug / plug / jiggle. 4. Check the lines going to the starter and the stator and make sure nothing melted or shorted out 5. Disconnect the key switch and try to kick start it it. 6. Start with making sure the key turns on the electronics like the headlight and such. Make sure brake lights work on both handles. 1. Brake likes are controlled by a limit switch at each lever, if one or more of these are bad, the scooter will NOT start at all. (they can be bypassed by cutting and twisting the wire shut. 7. make sure the run/stop switch is functioning and/or in the right position. Try it in both. Sometimes these get dirty and need to be taken apart and cleaned or replaced. The wiring is tricky but you can bypass it. You'll need to look it up I don't know off the top of my head. it's a cheap part. 8. You can try to force it to start by shorting out the starter solenoid terminals. Big spark, but the engine will turn over bypassing everything else. 1. try this with the key harness unplugged. 2. Then try it with the key harness plugged in AND both brakes rubber banded down and the run switch in the on position.

Now: IF it's turning over but won't start:

1. In some cases they will try to start with the run switch in the off position, so double check that. 2. PULL the spark plug, set it near something metal like the engine but DON"T let it tough. 1. Try to start it and look for spark to the frame. this is to confirm you have spark. 2. If you don't then you likely need to replace the CDI. (They go bad all the time) 3. Use starting fluid 1. If it is turning over, has spar but won't start, use starting fluid. 2. If it starts and runs for a minute, then it's a fuel delivery issue 1. pull your jets and clean them with carb cleaner and stranded wire, it has to be REALLY tight 2. Pull your float, check the float, check the diaphragm and needle. 3. Pull the gas manifold pump to engine hose (it will have an arrow)

I think I covered about everything.
