Default Electric Start

I have a redcat 50cc. When I try and start the engine (electric start) I get no response. I charged the battery and checked the connections and seem to be ok. Can anybody tell me how to diagnose the problem?

Have you tried jumping a wire directly from the battery to the starter to see if it turns?

Do you have to have the brake lever pulled in to use the electric starter? If you do the conector on the lever may not be pulled in all the way. I had this problem once. The rubber boot pulled out just a little push it back in and try that.
