After extensive work on it and hooking up the battery, somewhere there is a short.
When I purchased the motorcycle it started with just the kick starter, the battery didn't seem to have enough juice to to turn the starter. The wiring was a bit shot, electrical tape wrapped around wires, I cleaned it up but seems I missed something.
The starter kicks in on every position but off, please ask away.

That makes sense, especially being that I did swap out all the cables. I'll try that this afternoon and report back....

Yes, that was the issue. The starter button cable was pealed back from when I installed the throttle cable.
Got it running now sputtering oil....
