your starter isnt spinning. Go to napa or where ever, have them check the starter. Its super easy to take a starter off in a KA-E. Also, check your connections before you do take it out. Make sure everythings tight

Will autozone do it?

Is there a way I can test it myself?

I went to O'Reillys, they tested it, it passed.

Also the battery is at 12 volts even.

What else could be causing it?

bad ground to your battery? When you reconnect everything, clean all of your connections with a wire brush, clean your battery up, and tighten down all the nuts and bolts good and tight.

If your starters ok, then its prolly a bad connection somewhere.

I double checked everything, actually when I tested the starter, i cleaned the terminals.

With coke and a wire brush.

ok. Hook it all back up and if it still doesnt work you got a wiring issue. I wish I could get down there and see for myself. Its alot easier for me to help fix shit if I'm actually there.

Everything is all hooked up correctly.

It still has about 5 year old gas in it.

But it ran fine before, it should run fine now.

Im going to put more octane booster in it tomorrow.

But wouldn't it crank even if the gas is old?

It cranks once now,then starts to click.

Thats after I let it sit for a while.
