TRY bypassing your netrual relay switch, up under the back side of the mach there is a little black round relay there are two black wires going into it take a paper clip and cut it and jump it across the two black wires to bypass the relay, if that dosent work jump across the starter solenoid with a screwdriver this will tell u if the starter turns over, its good so is the batt so is the ground cable.

Hey,
When I jump by the starter solenoid the starter switch clicks faster and I can hear the starter slowing turning. Is this weak battery or bad starter?
Thanks

Hey,
My battery was fried, but so is my starter, upon opening the starter for inspection the end with the magnets was full of grease. Is this normal or a problem. A friend said it should be clean of any fluids on that end.
Thanks
