If it runs fine when you "kick start it", then it is very likely to be a connection issue. Start at the battery terminals and clean them well with some mild sandpaper or steel wool. Use gloves because of the lead terminal (lead dust is toxic). And as others have suggested, check all your grounds.
EDIT: Just noticed your are in the Islands,,,, all the more reasong to have a corrosion problem where current carrying wires are connected. And pick up a good dielectric grease and apply that on your connections. This prevents micro
arcing and oxidation buildup at the battery terminal
