Thumbs down Lt 80 Not starting

Ok the other day my son was riding his lt 80 and it just shut off. The previous owner bypassed the ignition so it has a push button start, but it only gets power when the quad handlebar switch is in the on position. After continuously trying to turn the engine over and it not firing i checked the spark. It had a blue spark and was getting fuel. After trying to turn it over again the starter just stopped. Now when i try to start the quad the starter does nothing no noise or anything. I checked how the previous owner bypassed the ignition switch and noticed he ran a wire straight to the battery and it looks like another wire going to the starter checked the voltage at the push button switch and it was 12v any ideas?

Welcome to the forums.
Under the rear fender, right side. Push the red dot.

Pull the front cover off to expose the wiring and see if there is a link wire between the red and the orange wire I think , this will elliminate the need for a key and start the quad from the button once the pedal is lockrd and ths start button pressed, its stupid but make sure also you have fuel coming from the tap

Ok sorry for taking so long guys new to ths forum stuff. So after looking for the red button under the right side rear fender and having no success I decided to just show you guys being that I am new to the lt 80. It is under the lt 80 not starting picture album on my profile. Tell me what you guys think.

Where is the red from the battery going? It's a extra wire. Up to that red **** thing? If so where to from there?
What's that green wire connected to?
The battery is in backwards. Connections should be close to the frame.

Ok the green wire is going to the starter and back to the starter button and the red wire just goes to the battery and to the push button start. To start it I would just hook jumper cables to the negative or ground and to the red battery switch. This used to crank it up but now it does nothing. What do you think is the problem.

Try the jumper (12v) to the wire going directly to the starter. This should tell if the starter isn't working or the start button is bad.
OHH, that red thing is the start button..Correct?
