SOURCE: Will not start
This repair should go pretty well. Start by load testing the battery. If the battery is old has some cell damage, then it would appear to be charged until it was put under a load. If the battery is fine, move onto both battery cables. Inspect both cables, from end to end. If anywhere on either cable the connection is loose, corroded, or frayed, it will fail to start. Then at last is the starter. unless you know how to bench test the starter. Please remove it and have it bench tested. This should just about cover popular failures. If you still have a no start issue then you either overlooked something or there is a defect in the wiring to the ignition switch circuit or the ignition switch itself. You can inspect the backside of the ignition switch and look for loose or over heater terminals. Good luck.
Testimonial: "Your input to this problem sounds good, haven't had time to follow-up. Battery is new. I did locate the starter now I have to figure out how to get to it?? Thanks, Merv"
Carburetor could be dirty or fuel filter clogged. Put a container of carburetor cleaner in your gas tank, fill it up, and run at idle for 5 minutes, see if that helps clear up the problem. Carburetor float could be stuck, or choke plate.
Check the Alternator for proper voltage output, I am sure it is the problem, also you can greatly extend the life of the battery by keeping a "Battery Tender" type charger hooked up when it is in storage.
