04 Eiger electric start

[Eljefe]

I need help/ideas please! I have an 04 Eiger 5 speed. Runs great and pull starts. Only clicks at the solenoid when trying the electric start. Replaced connections, solenoid and starter!! battery charged, still just clicks at solenoid!!! All lights work, I'm at a loss. Could it be the neutral relay? Anyway to test that? All fuses are good. Very frustrated.

if it pull starts it is not a neutral thing. starter could be bad. try a large truck battery

Thanks. It's a new starter. Bench tested turns fine. New solenoid/relay. If I bypass relay the click is at the starter but doesn't crank, so maybe the battery just can't crank it? Would a bad battery just click at the relay and not the starter?

When I turn the key and it the key it will click repeatedly at the relay. Tried jumping it from my car and disconnecting the rear break light for giggles. still just clicking.

Ok. So it's a ground issue. Pulled the starter, left the hot wire hooked to it from the relay. Ground wire touching block and start touching block. Hit key and starter housing sparked and it cranked/spun over. So the starter motor isn't grounding on motor case for some reason.
