QUESTION: Say Mike! When you hit the starter button it does a bunch of clicking.

Answer
First, make sure you have a good battery and good ground. Go to the starter and locate the small wire going to it from the starter relay. Take a test light and see if you have power going to it when you hit the starter button. If you dont then the starter relay is bad. The clicking is the starter relay
