The fuse coming off the positive terminal of the battery had blown initially, and evidently had blown again, which I've seen connects to the ignition switch. Replaced that and all is well.
Thanks again. Good riding.

Hey guys. Forgive me if I'm in the wrong place, but this seemed most appropriate. I just purchased a Powermax 150 and assembled it from the factory crate, I followed all of the instructions they offered. I can kick-start the motor fine, but the electric ignition switch doesn't make a sound whatsoever, even with the kill-switch disengaged and the left brake depressed, I can't get anything. The other thing is, while running, the lights dim significantly when braking. Other than that, everything seems fine. I'm going to pick up a multi-meter to troubleshoot the problem, but it seems the starter isn't receiving electricity. I also had a auto parts store check the battery, and they said it's fully charged. Any input or advise is greatly appreciated. Right sub-forum, but don't hijack someone elses thread as its bad juju. Now that being said, you most definatly want to check the grounds,the starter solenoid signal wire, and handlebar/kickstand kill switch if it has one. Alright, I'll check those out. Thanks very much.
