Ran fine and strong until today :facepalm: Checked these things: Installed new battery first, then - crankshaft turns freely, DSS lanyard working properly, all fuses good, all wiring and connections tight and clean. Looked in my shop manual under troubleshooting for ideas.
Symptoms: One single "click" noise from solenoid when start button is pressed. Not sequential clicks though. At first try it kind of made like a half stroke or revolution, then nothing. After that, I could only get one click each attempt to start.
Wanted to get opinions or advice before I start buying new parts starting with a new solenoid. I'm good at mechanics, but not electrical troubleshooting although I have a good multimeter and know how to use it.
Is this a bad solenoid or something else I can check with my meter
Thanks ahead of time for all suggestions and advice
