When i turn the key the lights come on so i know thats there is power

but so far i have only found 6 different points.


Does it crank but no fire, or no cranking?
Do the lights go out (or dim considerably) when you try to crank? This
could indicate a bad/discharged battery or the poor connections others
mentioned.
I always hang a little trickle charger on my lawn tractor battery the day
before I want to fire it up in the spring, as a kindness.
