'96 GTX click at starter

[Bill Collector]

When I mash the start button the ski clicks. I can't tell if it's coming from the electrical box or the starter. I know the selenoid is in that box. If I hit the starter 2-4 times it will turn over and it turns over good and strong. I mean strong! I have a brand new charged batterey, battery connections are clean and tight, but I can't see the starter under those carbs. What do you think? Connections? lanyard? Starter has to be good. Ski sat for 2 years, think the starter could just need some action to loosen up?

Re: '96 GTX click at starter

bad internal contacts in the selenoid, use a pair of pliers to jump the main contacts on the selenoid if the starter cranks each time and stops giving you a problem but goes back to the problem when you hit the button, I would say the selenoid needs to be replaced. if it still acts up jumping the selenoid it coulod be a loose wire at the rear of the starter just not making a good conection
