Default Wolverine won't start, loud clicking

Ok, so I know this has probably been asked in another thread, BUT I am pressed for time literally.

I have an 06 Wolverine 350. Fresh charge on battery. I go to start it, loud click in the area behind the battery where the cables tie in. Grab the jump box. Loud click. Got lights and all, but it won't turn over.

Thanks...

Best I can tell it's the starter relay doing the clicking. What's up with this? Time for a new one?

Prolly the starter needs brushes...Try this take an test light an probe the starter wire at starter when got probe in wire push the starter button if the test light lights up then the relay is doing its job then IMO the starter is the issue..If the light doesn't light up than IMO the relay is clicking but no conunity inside of relay [bad relay] or bad connections...BUT prolly an starter issue..

You can test relay also!! get an set of jumper wires,and volt meter with an buss box in it.Okay take jumper wires with an small paper clip stuck up inside of small wire of relay,than put meter on buss mode.put meter leads on the larger post an see if the meter busses when you put the power or volts from the batt to relay if you here an click and no buss then relay is bad...If you here click with an buss then relay is okay..Than look further for an bad connection at starter button..etc...

I arked the cables at the relay with a screw driver and the starter spun up nice and fast... can't wait til' the new part gets here. Going to tear into this thing before long. Going to pull a little power out that engine. Thinking about stroking it... really wanting to put a 660 or 700 out of a grizzly in it if I can determine where to mount everything. Not even sure it will work, but that would be a sick machine...
