Default Starter?

Anyone here had starter issues before, I hear no click still think it's the starter... But would like to hear what you guys think.

do you have full power Scotty? what I mean is, do you have full voltage on your battery with key on? do your turn signals work? interior lights? radio? headlights? etc....

Brotha...don't pay to get it charged (try jumping it first)...is it a 5 speed? I HOPE it is, try and PUSH start it, have someone push it with the key ON, put it in second gear, and when you're going about 10mph pop the clutch....and let me know if it starts......

Yes it does start with a push haha I've done it several times in the last couple weeks. Just tried to get the starter out today and i gave up... way to tight for my hands... I dont wanna pull it out and then have it be fine... Im so lost, no click... nothing, runs amazing when on even after a push start.

hate to tell you this, PULL the starter, have your wife, girlfriend or buddy with small hands pull it, then hook it up to 12 volts and see if it works, then you've eliminated one problem, if it doesn't turn, it's the starter.....

Thats not necessarily true, If the solenoid on the starter is goin, then the starter might still turn, but it wouldnt have enough juice to turn the engine.
