April 22, 200915 yr Moderator hi guys when i switch the ignition on and then press the electric start button it just clicks i have stripped it down and found it is clicking from the coil what does this mean please help Most likely a bad connection, the click you hear is probably the solenoid relay, check the connections on the battery terminals and on this solenoid relay make sure they are clean and not loose. also applies if there is any ground cable from any engine mounting to battery.

April 22, 200915 yr Moderator checked them all and they all fine dont suppose you have any other suggestions If you are happy with the connections you could try bridging the heavy duty connections on the starter relay, use something that will take a big current such as a battery jump lead, if the starter motor turns ok then the starter relay must be at fault if not then the starter motor is at fault.
