Hi mate,have you checked the fuses,relay under the cowl?Also make sure to wiggle the shifter on the control box back and forth because there,s a neutral safety switch in there that can go bad or stick preventing you from starting her.

There's plenty of reasons why nothing happens when you turn the key.If those things fail to work you need a test light/multimeter to determine if your getting power to the switch and back to the starter.Loose/corroded connections,broken wires,too much resistance in the circuit,corroded/broken safety switch,poor grounds etc will all stop you in your tracks.

Hope this helps a little as its really hard to say without seeing it myself.

Cheers.
