Won't start please help

[Hoss]

I have a Chinese go kart that will not crank from key switch but can jump starter relay across and cranks but won't fire when bypass key switch

Bad battery.

If it will crank when you short out the solenoid, but it won't fire (assuming your key is turned on), your problem is probably in the ignition switch or the wiring IMO.

If you have to jump start it (using another battery, that is) your battery is probably bad. Though it should still fire up and run if jump started.

Do they have a brake cutoff switch or anything like that on these go karts

An inexpensive 12 volt test light may prove to be useful. You can use a meter too. Test light, cheap and fast.
