Hoping someone can help me out. I have a 2017 125cc gokart and it ran fine until my kid tried to start it with the fuel line turned to the off position. The starter ran until it just died. I replaced the battery, fuse, starter, plug, etc (all electronics outside of the engine) and no luck. I turn the key and just hear the new solenoid click. I shorted the two terminals on the solenoid and it still just clicks. The brake light works, and I never had to push the brake to start to begin with. Any ideas?

Yes, if the starter doesn't spin when you by pass the solenoid it, is the starter or earth lead at fault. Usually brushes stuck or worn down. On more expensive machines a new set of brushes is the cure but those Chinese starters for under 250cc machines, are so cheap, it is easiest to replace the whole starter.
