I know this may sound simple, but unless we ask, we don't know

What is the voltage at the battery?

Ok.. try this. Make a jumper about 2 feet long or maybe a little longer...attach one end to the positive terminal on your battery..touch the other end briefly to the small terminal on the solenoid that had the thin red wire attached to it. See if it kicks over. If so then your throttle microswitch is bad (the one that activates when you press the gas pedal)

Let us know how that works.

Could also be the key switch...

Lookit... if you bypass the throttle microswitch as I described in my last post it should turn over (with or without the key!)

let me know what happens.

May want to go to the Yamaha sticky section. There is a sticky (5th one down)
"So your Yami won't turn over" for a common sense approach. Read it over, it should help you understand the system.
Good luck Mike

So what kind of cart is it?

Mine did basicly the same thing. After checking out all the electrical parts, and pulling out what little hair I had left, come to find out, it was the positive battery cable. Changed it out and, zoom zoom!
