Hi,
Your Scotts was made by the Noma division of Murray. Most commonly failed are the fuse, solenoid and key switch. Often there is a panel in front of the seating area beneath the steering column held on by two Phillips screws that will reveal both the fuse and the solenoid. For a parts breakdown to refer to, take this link:

PS It is a nice printable pdf format.
