Default ATA 250D problem

Been having fun with it but now having a problem. I had it hooked up to a battery charger and was trying to crank it. Engine was turning over fine but I stopped to make sure the charger was hooked up good to the battery. Went back to cranking but it didn't do anything. Pushed in kill button and it still won't turn. Light is on neutral and I've got the brake pressed but no crank. What do I look for? I found the glass fuse under the left wheel fender and replaced with no luck.
Thanks

Run a test lamp between the starter positive and earth. Ignition on, press starter button, if the lamp lights your starter is bad, if it doesn't, it could be the relay, switch, wiring or lock out circuit. You may need a wiring diagram to check those out.

No juice to the starter. Is there a way to bypass the brake safety to start? If the kill switch is accidently on it will still crank but not fire. This is a no crank at all situation.
Thanks

I have now found that neither handle or foot brake activates the rear brake light. What do I do?

Without a wiring diagram you are going to have problems finding the fault. Tracing wires of the same colour as those fitted to the brake switches may help, but some brake switches work by connecting an earth wire, some by connecting a live feed from the ignition switch.

I found a spot where the wires from the handbrake to splice and got the brake light to work and also cranked the atv. Now on to my next problem. Carb seems to be plugged up. Starts with starter fluid but dies out quickly. These things will make me an atv mechanic in no time.

Is your ATA 250D a manual? When I was looking at a chinese dealership in the area it stated to be manual.

I should have stopped back by to give follow up to others searching for similar problems.
I ordered a new brake switch and while changing it out realized one of the wires in the connector had worked itself loose so no brake signal was getting through so no start.
Fixed that and removed the carb and cleaned out the jets. Put it back on, put some gas in the tank and fired he right up. Runs great once again. Can't believe the carb gummed up in just a few weeks if not running especially since I only put ethanol free in it but that was the problem.
Fun cheap atv.
