After sitting for idle for three weeks (it ran fine three weeks ago), my 95 xp 717 wouldn't start today.
It's making a 'ticking' sound, and like something is spinning. I'm not getting the 'CLICK CLICK' like when the battery is dying. This is coming from the electronic module.
I pulled the starter, and used jumper cables to a car battery, and the plunger engages and the starter spins.
I jumped the solenoid posts with a screwdriver, and I still don't get he loud 'CLICK' like when the starter engages. Just what sounds like the starter spinning, disengaged from the engine.
Could I still be looking at looking at a bad solenoid? something else?
Thanks!
