Sorry this is probably something that has been asked before. Battery is good but when I turn on the ignition it just goes click. Is this starter motor ir solenoid?
Ignition trouble.

Cheers, thanks once again.
Erm, hang on. If you short the 2 big terminals on the solenoid the starter should turn shouldn't it? Because you have bypassed the solenoid.
That's how I used to start my guzzi when the solenoid went (also how I melted the key but I digress).
If it doesn't turn after shorting then it's voltage or the motor. Unless I dreamt it.

Got to agree, having just bought a new solenoid. Shorting it just bypasses it, new starter on order!

give the starter a wallop the the crankin handle or hammer. might just be stuck brushes.
