Hi there,

If the starter is clicking and not engaging you will have to check the main cable voltage, check for 12V check all connections, they may look OK but can be a poor connection, if cable is OK, with a jumper cable bridge out the main battery lead at the starter and the solenoid terminal, if it cranks check starter circuit, if no crank, or just a click it will be a faulty starter.
