    is the batterty charged.?? start with your grounds.... check battery cables ,both positive and negative ...see if you have voltage at the starter solenoid... try jumpering around the solenoid and see if the starter will turn. A VOM or test light will be helpful...do you have lights on the dash or headlights, try the horn.. if those work you have a problem in the start circuit, back to the solenoid and starter and starter button

    all it takes is one loose connection to cause this, the search begins......

    ( no power anywhere....) with that being a 6 volt system make sure every ground is clean and tight
