You should be able to use a traditional compression tester to see if you have really bad compression (blown engine) without starting.
If you have an old battery or unknown age, a new one might help.
The batteries have to be at 100% to start a Renny with any issues at all.
I've had the parts store tell me my battery was good, but having plenty of experience and insisting on a new battery, it's fixed my issue at least 3 times.
I'm not saying it's the problem, but if you think it could be, it might be worth it.
