craftsman 917.256570 won"t start -nothing?

Zip- no noise, no current displayed on meter, no clicks. Battery was new last year. Put away frustrated last year as clutch would not engage. Turned it off to check mechanics. Seemed ok. Tried to start then & wouldn't. Still won't. any ideas?

fixed this problem! The internet is a wonderful thing :) Weak battery- just not enough juice & replaced starter gear.
