Thanks for the suggestions!
I don't think it's the button itself since by pressing it something else
goes "click". I just couldn't tell if it was the starter relay, or the
solenoid on the starter motor that couldn't activate the starter.
I've just spent half the day in the garage making new connections for
the battery, starter, relay and regulator unit (new spades).
The battery says 12.96 volts static. Should be ok.
Removed the end cover on the starter motor, and a lot of old dust went
out. I don't think the cover has been removed for at least 20 years.
Cleaned it up around things, and cleaned the commutator with gasoline
(very black), and greased the bushings.
Hope this helps.
Thanks again.
