The fix could be as simple as replacing the brushes and cleaning up the commutator.

That might help. Another $10 possible fix is to buy a starter mounted push button like the Thunderfire from Jireh Cycles, it circumvents a lot of wiring and will even help start the bike with a low battery. I have one, but haven't needed to use it yet.
