hey people im having trouble starting my 4000, when i try to start it theres just a loud clicking noise coming from the starter motor....it does not turn over whatsoever and i tink the starter might be broken. It has been very cold here the last few days but its parked in the shed all the time, can anybody help me ??? Thanks
:)I'm thinking you need to check your battery first to make sure it is good and hot and then check your solenoid. If you can cross it and the starter engages then you need a solenoid.Quote:

First thing to do is make sure the batter is good. 12v is a dead battery. You want to see 12.5v+ A clicking solenoid at the starter is usually a sign of a weak connection or a dead battery.

yep.. i'd check bat and cables too espeially if it is a 3 cyl.. those are pretty decently sized engines.. take lotsa juice!
if bat is good and don't drop excessive volts.. next thing to check is for hydrolock
