From your description it sounds to me like one of two things. 1. Start with basics, check battery terminals are clean and tight. Also check the battery - lead is tight at the connection on the gearbox. The + lead goes to the starter solenoid so that is harder to check and I have rarely seen these come loose. If you do check it make sure you disconnect the - lead first to prevent shorts with your spanner on the engine casing. 2. If the kill switch is electrically dirty this could also cause the symptoms you are getting. Sometimes vigorous operation of the switch back and forth for a minute may restore the internal connection. Failing that you could find the connector block coming from the switch inside the headlamp, disconnect it and bridge the wires on the block going into the loom to restore the circuit. If you do this you will loose the kill switch function, since you have effectively taken it out of the circuit. Check those and see how you get on. If you are still stuck I'll try to help. Good luck, Guy.
