When did you first notice the problem?:yesterday
How often does it occur?:never
What have you ALREADY replaced to try and fix it?:jump starting, new battery, cleaning terminals
Have you checked codes?: nope

 

nothing new. same thing is happening

 

clutch? safety switch maybe?
Loose cables to the battery or to the starter?
Tap on the relay maybe?

 

hahah nah, the positive terminal needed some surfacing on the two posts. i guess power didnt flow through. thanks though guys.

 

Another very common starter problem is the solenoid contacts. As Colton suggested, tapping the stater will sometimes reseat the contacts (or brushes) so there is a better electrical contact to carry the high current necessary to start the engine. The most common problem is corrosion on the cable or battery terminals. An unhealthy or discharged battery can also make cranking a challenge.
