If its just the kill switch I would just buy a new control thing for that handlebar, it usually isn't that much and shouldn't be hard to find since its a tao tao.

if the kill switch doesn't work I dont know if any other parts can be responsible because I think its just connected to the CDI circuit and stops that, nothing really else to fail between there.

one time I forgot to put the throttle valve back in the carb, I started up the scooter. let's just say I'm REALLY glad there was a kill switch.

Suggest tracing wire (s) from kill switch , get meter or powered test light to see if switch on handlebar is actually closing , or if wire betweem it & ignition/cdi is pulled out of a connector somewhere. Seen where the thin male pins in wiring connectors have folded over instead of entering female end of connectors. I personally never use kill switch ,because if i do ill be wondering why my scoot wont start. Lol. P.s. thats how i busted my wife riding my scoots while im at work!

I never use it rather. Just key that's why I ask if it even maters if it hooked up or not .? If it don't need to be hooked up then why take it apart? Until I have to. But if you guys say it do's I'll check it out and fix it.
