Check voltage on the battery. The battery at full charge is near 12.6 volts. Another thing is corrosion inside the start switch. Spray some dielectric cleaner in it to clean it. First I would try to charge the battery. Put it on a 2 amp charge for about 4 hours or on overnight if it's an automatic charger.
