170 AC Ignition

Pulled the 1972 AC 170 gas into the shed all was good.
Went back out the next day and would not start, acted just like the battery was dead. Since it was 8 years old I thought good chance. Replaced battery and still nothing. No starter click, or anything.
The volt guage comes up but that is it. Any suggestion on where to head next would be appreciated.
Thank you.

Are you getting juice to the starter? Could be the solonoid or the key ignition, itself.

We had this problem on our 170 and it ended up being a solenoid.
