Sounds like a bad battery to me too. Put the charger on the battery for a couple hours and try again.

Have the battery tested at Auto Zone, or a parts store near you if the battery tests ok then replace the relay/solenoid.

Welcome to the forum HDH,
I think it's the battery too. Batteries don't like to sit around for 6 months and do nothing.

as everyone said, first thing you gotta do is to have a working fully charged battery.
try jumping it with a car battery just to see if everything works then you can be 100% sure is the battery

No one has mentioned hydrostatic lock, could be a cylinder has filled with fuel overnight.
