Finally had some more time today. Pulled all the connections and cleaned them up. Reattached everything good and made sure I had battery power.  Checked the brake and blades. Checked the solenoid connection and fuse again. Smacked the starter a few times with a hammer. It fired up, sputtered and ran. Will see how she goes
Thanks to everyone who commented and gave suggestions

If it started when you smacked the starter, it needs a starter.

Or are you saying you did all those things and then it starter?  If so it would have been good to do one thing at a time so you know what solved the issue.

Don't fall into the trap. Hunting is-and always will be- about the hunt, the adventure, the views, and time spent with close friends and family. " Ryan Hatfield

Mine this spring was battery.   It had juice, just not enough juice to crank, and wouldnt take any charge.   It would run if I jumped it.  Battery was 3 years old.   I replaced it and all is well

I did all those things at once. Then it started. Guessing the starter is going out. It’s a 20 year old rider

The starter on my Yamaha TTR 230 wouldn't work so I took it apart and found the smallest piece of metal had flaked off and would not allow the starter to spin. I put the starter back together and it worked fine after that.

So it could be that you have/had the same problem and when you smacked it it dislodged whatever was obstructing it, albeit maybe just temporarily and your problem will return.
