Roto Start repair
My roto start button has stopped working. When I push the button nothing is happening . What should I trouble shoot . There has to be a better solution than just buying a new one.

That button has low-current contacts not ideally suited to the unit. Buy a replacement for the switch, lots of folks have had them go bad so I know that there is a direct fit somewhere.

I read over on Sav. Central that there is a switch made by/sold at Radio Shack for maybe 4 bucks that will drop right in, same square-size button. I have not verified it, but I have no reason to doubt it.
