HI all first time on here and hoping someone can help

49cc Chinese scooter thing

i have no starter when you press the button ( starts with kick )
no break lights 
no blinkers 
and no horn
i have checked the battery and all the cables look to be good and the fuse, 
i have checked all wiring and looks great
changed the solenoid for a new one 
any help would be great

I would have thought solenoid too but it's weird those other things are not working as well. Maybe it's the starter. It's crazy how fast the 50CC scooters can break down. I think I started having problems that only a few hundred miles. I started learning how to fix my own on this message board years ago due to this. Hopefully those who know more than me can chime in. I know a starter replacement is a royal pain in the rear on these things. Sounds like some sort of faulty wiring issue maybe. I guess at this point I would try changing the spark plug and also charging up the battery and then go from there. When my starter button was not working in for the past it started working after I changed the spark plug then it started giving me problems again. I started using the kick start a lot but the kick eventually ended up breaking a so I know it's best not to rely on that for your everyday starting. Good luck. Scooter issues are so frustrating.

It won't start on the starter if the brake light switches are non functional. Somewhere there's an open circuit. Check the continuity at the switches and the wiring. If an open exists somewhere that's the problem.

Possible cdi issue ? Sounds dumb but you don't have the kill switch on do you ? Battery fuse ?
