OK, well the starter pulls a lot of power, so just having the windows work doesnt necessarily mean that the battery is giving out enough power.
I would try recharging the battery overnight if you have a charger. Then try starting it again. Or try jumpstarting it and see if it goes. If it does, then you killed your battery.
As for tapping the starter, sometimes that works if the contacts in it are stuck. Never tried it on a 240, but got my buddy's old CJ to start by hitting the starter solenoid w/ a mallet as he tried to start it.
If you got a 5spd, and you can get the car to roll, you could always just pop start it.
My best guess would be its just the battery, but i dont think its expensive to replace the starter assy. Or just find one in a junkyard or from someone parting out their car(sorry, sold mine off already) real cheap
As for it not rolling, thats real strange. You got a 5spd or auto?
