Scooter dying, complete voltage failure

[ri46]

At times the switch will not connect to battery power, have to switch key off & on.
flip kill switch off & on, & hold in brake to start. At times scoot just dies, no power.
start flipping key, and switches again to restart, takes a couple of minutes to restart?
what can be causing this? Apprenrate the help!
11/19/13 checked all fuses, all good. Noted the start button had a crack across the ear extension,
 added super glue across the crack. Still don't understand why no power at times!
am looking at the kill switch to get inside of it?
12/23/13 battery was bad, replaced with new 2 year battery, still can not fire up. Recharged, & checked
ground. No fire, will check plug after Xmas, yo'll have a Happy New Year!

Bad switches
You can bypass the kill swith to rule it out

and the side stand switch can cause problems too

My 2 50cc GY6s both look the same one has 3 wires to the sidestand switch and i just unplugged it and it went again

The other one had 2 wires to the sidestand and i unplugged the switch and plugged the 2 wires together


if the cops moan i will have to take the sidestand off

Finally got started 2/10/14 rode 3 miles, died, This is a last post. 
Will park & get a motorcycle! If one wants a Jonway YY250T,
come get it, clear tittle, no more repairs all the time.
Anyway thanks for your help and advice. Just not the
mechanic I thought I was. I am done with this. Good bye!
