Somewhere I saw an article on installing a larger ground wire from the battery. I'll check around in my notes to see if I can be of more help.

They have a fuse that protects the whole electrical system. Try to find and test that. It should be around the battery.

Do you know the proper starting proceedure? Hold clutch in on left hand side when sitting on the machine , then push the starter button.
Will it turn over at all?
If not then it might be the stator or coil.
