Maybe a wire is in the wrong place. The foot switch is only for the start circuit.

Usually a bad earth to engine. With brake on, the mechanism completes the earth circuit.

Default Lt80 Quadsport Wiring Diagram

I've attached the wiring diagram for your reference. Check the ground connections I've circled. This is where the CDI reads the ground and continues the firing protocol. Hope this helps!
