My take is the wiring is too small, and probably the switch. Combined your not getting enough current to the solenoid. This is based on what you posted.

Your kill switch should be from the small wire to the solenoid.

I have been reading and i have found that since i dont have anything grounded could be the problem the only thing that is grounded is the battery to the frame all other grounds are gone
