The first thing I’d check would be the small wire with the slide on terminal on the starter.

Batteries fully charged, no dimming of headlights, I think I heard the click of the fuel pump, but a no start.Any ideas on where to start looking for the problem?  I know the starting key lock can be a problem, but don't know how to diagnose.  I don't think there are any fuses involved, but I may check with Dennis Haynes to see if charging, batteries, or wiring upgrades included a new fuse.
