I went to start it yesterday and it turned over maybe half a a revolution and the starter quit. My first thought was a dead battery but that was not the case. When I tried starting it I heard a click but I'm not sure if its the solenoid or a relay. I didn't really pay close attention where it was coming from. I tried tapping the solenoid (probably not hard enough) and nothing. So I removed the starter and tried turing it over after removal and it did turn over. Now I'm a little worried that something seized but can't see how that could be the case. I put the starter back in and it started right up.
I haven't tried starting it after using it the last time as the rain won't be stopping until monday. I'm thinking it was a stuck solenoid or a dead spot in the starter. All of the battery cables and starter connections are clean.
Any ideas? I have a feeling the same thing will happen the next time I try starting it.
