Default Wolverine starter electrical problem.

I have a 2001 Wolverine. The battery had been getting weak and it wouldn't start.
I installed a new battery and it started for a mouth or so. The starter was dragging and then quit. I bought a new starter and still all I get is a clicking noise from what I think is the starter relay. I have checked all connections. Could I have bought a faulty starter or am I overlooking something. Is there a way to check the starter?
Thanks

I had bought a new starter off ebay and it was bad.
I was able to exchange it and the second one works fine.
It was confusing trying to fix it when I had a new starter and took for granted it was good.
My factory service manual shows how to check your starter.
I also am using a battery tender.
Starts great!

It was the starter, rebuilt it with Honda brushes and cleaned it up works
like or better than a new one.
Thank you all.
