hey everyone just recently the head gasket was replaced and now the start button is not working. battery is good. neutral light is on. solenoid works when jumped with a screw driver and motor turns over and wants to start but doesn't. the mechanic said he got it to start with push starting it. any ideas or places to look to fix this? hoping its something simple and cheap.

Lots of things, fuel fire air. Sounds nuts but try to put it on a space heater for a few days in a garage, and get that engine warm, but have u tried to start it cold? My idea is that maybe with the engine warm you can see if your fuel is leaking down or if possibly compression is low. But try to rebuild the starter and replace the Solenoid so that's all good first.
