what kind of storage? heated with mouse prevention? those critters love to nest on top of the starter and chew wires.

If you can try getting a pipe or something you can strike the starter and see if it will come to life.

If I remember if the security light goes out then the vats is working how it should.

is the fuel pump coming to life when you turn the key on before trying to crank?

I'm going with starter.
