73 MG Midget

I have a 73 Midget in good shape. It's been in the backyard for a few months and has started each time I tried. Now that I need to move it to put it into storage it won't start. I turn the key and it seems to want to start but just wont turn over.

Any ideas?

Check the fuel pressure and also look for spark-if okay make sure the choke is opening

if it won't turn over, clean the battery cables, charge the battery andseeif it willthen. ifnot take a hammer and tap the starter it may start then, but it will probably need a new starer.
