If you have the original style solenoid, you can press the button on the 
back to send full current to the starter.

If pressing the button works, then it's the solenoid actuator, if not, 
could still be solenoid (bad contacts) or starter.

It had run beautifully just the evening before and I've never had a starter problem. The battery is not the problem, it's new and fully charged. Could this be a solenoid problem? I'd appreciate some opinions before I attempt to trouble shoot the situation.
