Seems like a short somewhere...? after push start car runs like a champ. can't find short. think it is in the ignition switch..weird it just started doing this when choked down. Any ideas?

You need a new battery or when you use another car to jump your car, you have to start the other car and accelerate it and probably you can start your car.

Because your battery is very weak.

Car not starting or turning over indicates towards multiple possibilities. It can be issue with battery or weak battery. But if battery checks out ok, then it can be starter issue or faulty alternator or problem with low fuel pressure or no spark at spark plugs due to dirty spark plugs or faulty ignition coil or injectors getting cracked or dirty and needs to be cleaned.
To confirm the problem, the basic troubleshooting is required.

I have a yamha ttr225 battery waa jumpstarted ran fine jumped it a few more times then died when riding would not jump start again bought new battery. Now no power wont start lights. Horn work not even a...

could be all manner of things, but i would start with the regulator/rectifier - get that replaced & work on from there, you could have seriously damaged the internal workings due to consistent jump starting, that should have been the time to ask what was going on , now you have just confounded the issue

My 2006 chevy trailblazer 2wd 6cyl wont start. makes clicking noise, then nothing lights/radio etc work but wont start what is it

You got a jump and it ran fine? It's your battery. The lights and radio are much easier for a battery to handle than spinning a car engine. Again, if all you needed was a jump, you have a bad battery.
