QUESTION: the last owner put a MC ignitions power arc 2  on it

Answer
Check the wire going from the starter relay to the starter solenoid. If you have power at that wire when you hit the starter button then the starter solenoid is bad. If the there is no power then the starter relay is bad
Good luck and happy riding
