Ok. Here is my attempt to decipher the question. Have to assume it is a Rushmore bike, but that is not for certain. Turning the ignition switch will not start the bike. You need to use the starter switch on the handle bar. If the bike starts without the starter switch, there is definitely an issue. I remember a recall on some of the Rushmore’s for an issue with lurching if starting cold. Something to do with the clutch, I think. Mine did not have the condition.
