Is there a certain spot to tap on the starter an do you think there could be another possible problem on why it wont start. I thought it might be the battery but all the lights come on and i tried jump starting it but it didnt do anthing. and its got gas in it.

Tap the center of the starter motor if the starter is clicking then most likely its a bad starter.
