Default Kazuma Meerkat 50cc older model wiring

I picked up older meerkat 50cc. It doesn't have all the safety stuff. Just push the starter and go. Here is my issue. I have no power to the headlight. I've checked the following:
Bulb is good
Switch is good (ohms out fine to the headlight)
I have no power to the switch or bulb running or off.
I have checked the dozen or so connectors under the seat and all are tight.
i can't seem to find a wiring harness diagram for this older model.

Thanks in advance!

Lights can work directly from alternator, but usually are fed from battery via ignition switch. If from ignition switch there will be a wire runs from it to light switch, the same terminal on ignition switch feeds other battery powered stuff like the starter and horn (if fitted) so that must be OK. Therefore you have a fault in the wire between ignition switch and light switch. If the lights are fed AC from alternator, an alternator wire will feed power to the light switch, so if alternator is working, it must be this wire that is faulty.

Thanks! Found a wire that was broken at the bullet connection. All is well now!
