there is one red wire to the ignition switch that's hot. there is a black wire i'm guessing is a ground, a green wire and a white wire. shouldn't the green or white show voltage with the key on???

sounds like time for a new switch tyr a jumper wire from the red to the black if it will start then you will know for sure that the switch is bad while you test it with the jumper have the switch unpluged

Jump the wires, on the key posts, to see if everything is working past the key switch.
There may be problems past it that is making it look like the switch is the problem.
You can also disconnect the battery and use the 'resistance testing' of a multi-meter to test if the posts on the switch?
You wouldn't believe what my scooter did the other day electrically.
I fixed it, but I am still trying to figure how in the world that even did it.
Almost like the everything became reversed. It was weird.
