TaoTao 125A problems

Last year my granddaughter got her first quad. It started easily and ran fine. I did notice that it would always click once or twice before the started engaged. After a few starts this year the starter won't engage. It only clicks. It appears to have a full charge but hooked up the trickle charge just the same. Same problem.
I located the solenoid on the left side under the seat and tried to bypass the 2 terminals. Nothing. I then jumpered from the hot post on the battery to the lower terminal on the solenoid going to the starter. Nothing. Tried from the hot terminal on the battery to the started. Nothing. When the brake is engaged I do get a good bright light that dims when I try the starter button. Have not been able to amp the battery to see if it is fully charged.
Any help would be appreciated.
