XB12r having problems starting, good battery can hear the The small relay clicking, and have swapped just so I can rule them out, if I try for long enough times it sometimes will start ok but it is getting worse. When it wants too it turns over ok, I am thinking starter solenoid Any ideas. |

I know you say you've ruled out the battery, but it sounds like it's the battery ![]() |

Definitely not the battery, when wants too it will turn over, then next time its dead, Then keep pressing the starter nothing and bang it starts. |

Don't know what access is like to the starter, but you can jury rig up some wire which by passes the switch, then if it cranks 100% of the time then you'll be able to pin point the problem at the switch. If it's only spinning over the same amount as at the moment, then the lightly-hood is that there is some corrosion on the solenoid, opening up and cleaning / light lubrication would solve that. |
