Massimo 500 Won’t crank with key

[T-boss 410]

Well, just spent some time looking for a loose ground. The only ground wire I could locate was 3, attached on the frame on the driver's side near the fuel tank. There's a ground wire attached to the starter, which was tight. I still have to hit the starter a few times to get it to turn over. Is there any way to diagnose a bad ignition switch? I checked the battery, and it was showing 12v with the engine off, and 14+ when running.

I just brought home a 2023 TBoss 500...Runs great and then I parked it,,,, The next day I got in turned the key,,, Waited a minute then tried to crank it over,,,, Nothing!!!I thought maybe its in thewrong gear or something,,, I shifted to high then low then neutral...All did nothing,,, Then waited a minute and tried again and it fired right,,,, What is going on with this,,?  Any ideas ... It's just one day old,  virtually brand new!

Maybe a dumb question, but do you have your foot firmly on the brake pedal? Mine would do the same thing, unless I pressed hard on the pedal. I did some adjustments to the brake switch, and the problem was solved.
