Default Motor not turning over

I posted earlier about the fluids, but before I even got a chance to check those I went to try and start it and it wouldn't. Yesterday went I took it off trailer it started and then quit on me and I tried starting too long and the battery died, so today I hooked a charger up to it and the motor does not sound like it is turning over at all. It just makes a weird kind of buzzing noise. Not like a clicking sound like I've heard on other things. Not sure what is causing it. Any ideas?

Could be a starter problem,but if it died on you while running I'd check compression before I did anything else. Just use the recoil start. If you have more than 125 psi or so, you can possibly eliminate any piston seizure. If you have a test light you can see if the starter solenoid(next to the battery)is sending power to the starter wire. Plus you can take an old screw driver and jump the two posts on the solenoid and see if the starter turns over. OPT
