'86 Spree - No power

Hello I’ve been having some electrical issues on my 86 spree. I get power when I pull up on the battery it runs without power I’m guessing off the magneto anyway I tried putting some foam from a new tv box under the battery and now I’m not getting any power what so ever and I need my spree to go to a event later today.
Any help would be greatly appreciated

Sounds like a lose wire to the battery. What do you mean it runs without power? It doesn’t need the battery to stay running.

Yessir, faulty wiring somewhere near the battery.

What I mean by “it runs with out power” is that I can kick start it (it just takes like 5 to 10 kicks) and it will run off the magneto which is making power for the motor but the horn doesn’t work much and the blinkers blink fast and dim.

That's why you need a good, charged battery.When the scooter is being ridden with throttle on it will run the turn sigs and horn without a battery but only when the throttle is on at least half way or so. Same with a dead battery. The mag/stator just runs the headlight/taillight (dim)at idle.
