Can you pop the clutch & start it? Are you sure the battery is good? If you can pop the clutch or jump start it check the the voltage across the battery, should be about 14 volts.

Try checking the hot wire attached to the starter.The bolt sometimes works it self loose not making contact with the starter. While you are down there, look for corrosin at that terminal. The exccess corrosion will cause such a large amount of resistance, it will not turn the starter at all.
