Title: Won't start
Post by: raptorfireman on July 29, 2008, 06:59:40 AM
 :mad:When I try to start it the starter relay just clicks really fast, almost like a buzzing noise. :'( I think I spilled some filter oil on it during my airbox removal. Any suggestions? :help:

loose connection, weak battery? I'd go with ground being loose somewhere.

Battery is charged and all connections are good and clean. I think the starter is fine, it's the relay that I think is the problem.

usually, when a relay is bad, it is completely gone, no clicking. At least in my experience. Could be though.
