If engine does not turn over you need to see if the starter is getting power and if it is any good. Also look for an inline safety switch for the starter that may be stuck in the open position and not allowing the electricity to enter the starter motor.
Did it have compression before you bought it?
No power to the electric starter? Then you probably have no power to the ignition system. I'd check battery connections. Is the battery going flat overnight? Some shorts. Is there an ignition with a key? Is the switch good? or all the connections good? Corrosion does some funny things. Fuses may look good but actually are not.
Check fuse link under the seat. Look for the main 30 amp fuse. Also, could have shorted wire in the key housing where the key goes into the ignition. Put ohm meter on and check for continuity. this will tell if there is a short in the wiring. Hope this narrows it down for you.
if battery is good, check to see if you have voltage at solenoid. if you do, turn key to start, that should throw the fire from other side of solenoid to starter. if there is no fire on the other side of solenoid when you turn the key,then your solenoid is most likely bad.
