Check the fuse. It's right above the starter solenoid on the right side , under the cover. Look for the red wire coming from the same terminal on the solenoid as the main power lead from the battery. It's an inline fuse in a strange little doohickey, usually with a plastic cover over it. If that does not work, check the ground wire from the battery to the engine/frame. Corrosion on terminals is common after so many years. Good luck.
