Default Re: Clicks, but won't turn over.

Thanks one and all for the prompt suggestions.

I pulled the battery out, and noticed some corrosion on the negative terminal. I charged her up for an hour and that got her back to 12.57 volts; cleaned up the corrosion, sanded the bottom and inside of the negative terminal connector, reinstalled the battery and started her up. She turned over without any hesitation. It was a beautiful sound, even if it was coming from a black crossfire.

Sorry, I doubted the starter. The battery, I noticed, is almost four years old, so I'll keep an eye on that.

Thanks again. A guy my age should've done all that before I bothered you guys. What a short sweet solution.
