Sounds like your starter motor. Try tapping it with a hammer - just don't bash it.

Its usually either that or the battery. Mine started clicking and then eventually died. I pulled mine apart and made new brass bushings for it because the old ones were r00ted and didn't contact properly anymore
its been fine ever since!

Depends how mechanically minded you are
Take it off, pull it apart and you should be able to diagnose thr problem. My guess is the trashed brass bushes... they're a common problem apparently
